Well here we are, at war, against the COVID-19 Pandemic, in which we are not winning, if you were to read the News Papers or watch the evening news on TV.
During the past Month, ------- our Peacekeepers, Linda and Doc Jardine, Lynda Bartel, Len and Mary-Lynn Barnsley, Glenn and Rosie Napady, along with Charles and Darlene Cameron have been involved with the assistance of two Meat Draws, for which we are very grateful.
As most of you have gathered, the Peacekeepers have partnered up with Donna Hartie who is involved with a Youth Group.
The August and October Meat Draws went well, patrons of the 283 ANAVETS were very patient with us as we went about ensuring that every table had their chance to procure tickets in advance of each draw.
The Sgt-at-Arms, Len Barnsley and myself, Charles Cameron, President of the Peacekeepers, took a drive to Dufrost, Manitoba to visit with one of our aging members, Jean Catellier, who is very involved with the Ghost Squadron of Manitoba. We also had the opportunity to see his collection of Jeeps, one Jeep was painted White with the UN insignia. Jean Catellier received his 20 year Association Pin from the Sgt at Arms. LGen RR Crabbe receives his 15 year pin, and Gary Farrell will receive his 20 Pin.
This year, as far as I know, there will be no Remembrance Services at the Convention Centre or any of the Parks.
At this time I would like to thank the President and the Executive of Unit 283 for their continued support of our Chapter.
