Our October dinner meeting is planned for Tuesday, October 16th and our guest will be Dr. Bob Severs of the Owen Sound Attack. Dr. Bob is hoping to bring with him a Russia player and an American player which will make for a most interesting evening. Be sure to mark your calendar now. You won't want to miss it!
PLEASE NOTE! We must order the number of meals needed for each dinner meeting and then the Legion buys in food according to that number given. For each meal we give four weeks advance notice and then a two week advance “reply request “ with a cutoff date one week prior to the meal. At that time the number is given to the Legion to place the food order. It is therefore vitally important that you help us by ensuring that your name is on the list for a meal by the cutoff date.

Salvation Army Christmas Kettle Campaign

The Salvation Army's annual Christmas Kettle Campaign has been a huge success in no small measure because of the volunteer work of the Sauble & Area Men's Club. Fretz's Valu-Mart in Sauble Beach is the venue for approximately 12 days during December. Volunteers are required to 'man' the kettle for about two hours. Your help is needed so please volunteer by calling or emailing our coordinator Dave Corbett.
Dave written the following message for all our members:
"Good Day Men's Club Members, with our October dinner meeting approaching I would like to ask you all to consider volunteering for this year's Salvation Army Christmas kettle campaign. We will be starting on December 6th, manning the kettle every Thursday, Friday and Saturday until December 17th then every day until the 24th. Please check your calendars and set aside 2 hours to help out with this worthy cause. I will have signup sheets at the dinner meeting.
Thank you in advance."
