They shall grow not old as we
that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the
years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and
in the morning.
We will remember them.

From the desk of President Dave:
As this term comes to an end I would like to thank my
executive for their hard work. But more importantly I would to
thank the membership for coming out to meetings. Boring as
they may seem they are essential in order that the business
of the Branch can be conducted.
The election of executive is coming in May. To continue to
have a strong Branch we need to elect a strong executive.
New members are needed for their new ideas and input. As
always, if you don't come out and vote you can't complain
about the results.
With the loss of the Copper Cliff Branch, we will be
receiving a large number of transfers. I would like to
welcome them to this Branch and invite them to get involved.
