The April 13 meeting of Rivers Legion was called to order by president Darryl Childerhose; 13 members were present. News was received that curling and eight ball were dropped from Legion sports at the dominion level because of changes in sponsorship. They will still continue locally and as far as provincial command, so there won鈥檛 be any major disruption at the local branch level.
There has been a reassessment of our building and contents for insurance purposes, which should save more than $1,000 per year in premiums. This was welcome news in a time of increasing costs.
There will be a joint executive meeting with the ladies auxiliary on April 27.
Some of the back stairs have been recovered; the rest will be done when the same material is available at the local lumberyard. There were comments about it being safer for ladies in high heels when the spaces in the treads were properly covered. Another comment was then heard that half-inch holes were drilled in the old covering to allow for drainage. There was then some cross discussion about typical government planning and policies.
Then there were some mumbled comments about stiletto heels that this writer did not fully hear. Comrade Childerhose quickly regained control and the meeting continued; it was adjourned in 40 minutes. Yet another meeting where usual business was efficiently covered.
