Good Day All
For those that haven't heard yet, our Legion was selected to host the AB/NWT Convention next spring. In order to make this a great success we will need a number of volunteers to fill spots on sub-committees for the preparation, and for the convention itself. What all is required by our Legion will be posted soon, as well as volunteer positions required.
The renovations are complete and now it's just the task of going through items found in the office that still need to be gone through. Once everything is back into place there will be photos of our new look. I'd like to give a huge thanks to those Legion members that volunteered their time over the course of the renovations.
Stay safe

President
