The R.M. of Tecumseh made a large donation to the Stoughton Legion on Wednesday, March 1. Currently the Legion is the only hall in the community and the R.M. wanted to show their support in the maintenance of the Legion building, but also in support of the Legion branch itself.
               The donation, which was earmarked for lighting in the hall and work to the kitchen floor and countertops, was made by the R.M. of Tecumseh for $15,000.
               A very generous donation according to Legion secretary Peter Piper, “I went to an R.M. meeting and made a presentation there, I was hoping for $5,000, but they made the decision to give $15,000, which is appreciated.â€
               “The support of the community of the hall has been really good, it’s now the only hall in town, so people are coming together. We do need ongoing support from the community to help keep us viable.â€
               In addition to the interior work needed in the hall, the Legion will also need to look at redoing the roof sometime soon.
