Hudson Legion latest news |
|
|
|
February 6, 2012 Let's start off with a lost and found issue. Several weeks ago Allen Rasmussen's London Fog raincoat was taken by mistake from the Legion. There is one still hanging up in its place, so if by chance anyone has this coat please contact Joan Rasmussen at 450-458-6609 or just bring it back and make the switch at the Legion. Don't forget the Salmon dinner being planned for this Friday night. Reservations are a must for this three course meal at only $14.00 per person. Call 450-458-4882 for tickets now. Lots of curling teams are off to Buckingham to participate in the Legion Provincial Curling Playdowns from the 9th to the 12th of February. Good luck to the participants. Quickly, following on the heals of that is the Lakeshore Bonspiel to be played on the next two weekends. Cribbage this month will fall on Friday the 17th. Rollie is feeling a lot better and will be back to host this evening. Dates are available at the Legion for ice rentals as well as any type of event like birthdays, anniversaries, funerals or baptisms etc. The Legion comes highly recommended and can make your special event a great success.

Montreal Theatre Ensemble’s production of Arthur Miller’s play “All My Sons” |
||||||
|
The play is a post World War II story about the Kellers, a seemingly "all-American" family, but the father, Joe Keller, has concealed a great sin. During the war, he allowed his factory to ship faulty airplane cylinders to the USAF which resulted in the deaths of several US pilots. Keller's two sons served during the war. One returned home and the other was declared MIA when his airplane went down in China. This past Tuesday evening, December 27th, at the request of the actors from the Montreal Theatre Ensemble, the Hudson Legion arranged for them to meet some of our WWII Veterans to share in their war time experiences to better understand some of the roles in the play. Below is a photo taken during their meeting.
Also attached is a promotional flyer for the event. |

Message from Peter Mansell, branch president |

November 19, 2010
Branch 115 was given its Charter on 28 April 1945 and moved to its present home in the early 1950’s. This is a very active Branch with just over 300 members. The cosy and friendly atmosphere at our Legion is entirely due to the hard work and dedication of our staff and our many volunteers. The Branch is proud of its commitment both to our Veterans and to the community. We also perpetuate the Remembrance of those who gave so much for the freedom that this country enjoys today. Every November our Remembrance Day Parade leads to the Remembrance Service and wreath laying ceremony at the cenotaph, in front of the Legion building. Members can enjoy a wide variety of social events such as suppers, barbeques, entertainment and a host of other events throughout the year. The branch is active in Legion sports programmes at a Provincial level, and our curling teams have represented Quebec at a national level. We are able to serve our community by assisting in Legion programs to support our local youth, seniors, the disabled and others. The Legion also provides bursaries to students from Secondary School to University level. The Branch is also a major supporter of our local cadet forces. Nationally we are part of Canada's largest volunteer organization which provides tremendous intangible benefits through the commitment of members to fulfill the mandate of remembrance, service to the community and our country. Our fallen comrades served in battle, you have "another way to serve" by joining The Royal Canadian Legion. New members are always welcome. Lest We Forget |

Gordon International Medal Curling Event |
||||||
|
March 22, 2011 The Gordon International Medal was won by the USA for the first time since 1982. Our neighbours to the south won by a margin of 18 rocks, a truly great achievement and one all of the Canadian teams applauded when the result was announced. This is the 115th time that the competition has taken place and the 28th occasion the USA has won. The US teams that visited us on Friday for the friendly games were from Schenectady and the GNCC, Saturday saw us play host to the Nutmeg Curling Club from Bridgeport, Connecticut and Utica Curling Club. It was a real compliment to our curling club and Legion that the teams playing here on Friday when asked where they would like to play chose us. I think that all of the Canadian curlers would agree that the US victory is one of the best things to happen to this competition in many years and will only strengthen the bonds of comradeship and sportsmanship that is at the core of this annual event. As usual Sandy and her team excelled in the kitchen to provide yet another amazing feast, well done to all concerned. A sincere thanks also to Bill Sansom who has played in the Gordon for 11 years and has decided to take a well earned break. Next year the completion will be played in Utica so until then, good curling! Peter Mansell |

It took about 40 minutes to complete the initiation ceremony and to dispose of all the business set in the meeting agenda. Once that was done, Nicole Durand presented several large bristol boards containing photographs which showed the work being done on the apartments at the Manoir. At the same time, Hans Gruenwald talked in detail about many aspects of that work. In particular, he mentioned that:
