Royal Canadian Legion Branch 29 Reaching out…

Like many others, we were deeply impacted by COVID-19.  Closing our doors with no revenue coming in hurt us financially.  Even though we stopped whatever services we could, we still have some monthly bills and no revenue.  As of the first of May we do not yet qualify for federal funding.  If that wasn’t enough, we were hit with a double whammy as our canteen FLOODED from a broken pipe upstairs.  While we were insured, it meant coming up with a deductible.  It also means that COVID dictates how and when trades can work in our building.  It will be a slow recovery process.

Branch 29 takes incredible pride in GIVING to the community.  We love that our donations can support worthwhile causes in our community.  With so many businesses and individuals needing help, it is with great reluctance that we too plea for help.  At this time of COVID, if it is not too much of a hardship for your family, we would appreciate any donation.  No donation is too small.  If you would like your donation to be in honour of a relative, that too would be appreciated. 

We have gone through hard times before and we are looking at avenues to raise the funds needed to get us through the summer and beyond.  We keep saying one step at a time.  Branch 29 is an important institution in Creston.  When we can, we will re-open to serve our community.  We can hardly wait until our repairs are done and it is once again safe enough to open our doors.  We love that our patrons come to our branch to play darts, play cribbage, attend jam sessions, karaoke, and attend the meat draw, as well as other special events… but especially when they just come to be part of our Legion Family.  While we serve all, two groups particularly depend on us: Veterans and Cadets.  The Cadets are in our building twice a week parading and sharpening their skills. We will continue to be there for youth, seniors and everyone in between. In the meantime, stay safe and healthy! Thank you in advance for your donation.
