Coldwater Veterans Appreciation Luncheon

Royal Canadian Legion Branch 270 Coldwater held its annual Veterans Appreciation Lunch on Saturday November 2. The event was attended by more than 80 people including Legion members, supporters, dignitaries, and 24 Veterans. We would like to thank all who attended and all who contributed in so many ways to make the event the success that it was. A special thank-you goes to our Branch Poppy Chair Gaëtanne Robinson, who coordinated the event, and to the members of Branch 270 Ladies' Auxiliary who, once again, put together a wonderful meal and took care of so many details in the setting up.  Thank you all! 

Our Zone E4 Deputy Zone Commander Amanda Grant-Bottineau.
