Ladies Auxiliary of the Royal Canadian Legion, Richmond

The regular monthly meeting of the Ladies Auxiliary was held on May 21 in the Lounge. After the opening ceremonies, Cmde Ann did the roll call with 13 members present. As there was no installation of the new member we went to the minutes of the last meeting and the minutes were accepted. The treasures report was given and accepted. The president thanked the members for their help over the past month. Several of the members helped Cmde Ann Knowles with her Carnation Campaign fundraiser for MS.

On May 14 we had Louise Bedard and Isabelle Gosslin from the volunteer center come to the Legion to explain all the services available to seniors in this area. The Ladies Auxiliary were joined by Branch members, also members of the 50+ Club. Very informative and booklets were given explaining all. Thanks Louise and Isabelle.

Correspondence consisted of a request for a donation to the youth fair and all were in favor.
