WEYBURN - A meet-and-greet with local veterans will be held at the Weyburn branch of the Royal Canadian Legion on Friday, Sept. 20, as part of National Legion Week, running from Sept. 15-21.
National Legion Week kicks off on the third Sunday of the month in honour of the Battle of Britain Day, and wraps up on the following Saturday.
This year the Weyburn Legion is inviting residents to come down to the Vimy room and watch movies donated by Julian Goski from Tuesday to Saturday (except for today, Sept.18, as the Vimy Room is rented).
The first movie is at 1:30 p.m. and there will be a second show at 5 p.m. The Legion will provide free popcorn to enjoy while you're watching movies. Everyone is invited to come on down and membership is not required.
The Weyburn Legion is opening their doors to everyone at 11 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 20 for a meet-and-greet event, in honour of those who have served or are still serving, including military veterans, reservists, RCMP and city police officers.
Everyone is encouraged to come in and have a free coffee, tea or juice as well as a free cinnamon bun or muffin, and see military displays, information on the Legion, and a chance to visit with local veterans and the policing community.
The Legion is also encouraging anyone with memorabilia to bring it down and share their knowledge with visitors. If you are interested in bringing something, give Debbie Kater a call and she will make sure a table is saved for you. Invites will be going out to Weyburn’s local heroes as well so it is a good opportunity to come in and meet those who served or are serving.
Also in the evening on Sept. 20, the Legion will be serving a complete turkey supper. This is sure to be a sell out so please make sure to book quickly to reserve a table or arrange for take-out. The price is $22 for non-members and $20 for members.
