Fundraising is underway to send 12-14 members of Branch 642 Royal Canadian Legion Pipes & Drums to Saint John, NB later this month.
The group will be attending the 49th Dominion Legion Convention on Aug. 24-28. They take part in the parade on Aug. 25.
Delegates and proxies representing close to 260,000 members nation-wide will discuss the future of the Legion.
Leading up to the trip, a spaghetti dinner at the Legion, a steak dinner at the Imperial Club and a golf tournament were held to raise funds for the Pipes & Drums. Now, there is an opportunity to enjoy tea, scones and treats, with proceeds going towards the travel costs.
Mrs. Bell’s Tea Room will host a Tartan Tea Aug. 10, with seatings at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. The cost is $35 per person.
Reservations can be made online at www.mrsbellstearoom.com/reservations or by telephone at 226-627-0248. There is a limited seating capacity.
