The Royal Canadian Legion in Moose Jaw has a few fundraisers coming up that are sure to be worth the visit.
On Apr. 6, Karaoke Night with DJ Rod Willier will take place in the lounge downstairs, beginning at around 8:30pm. Everyone is welcome to stop in and cue up their favorite song.
The annual Trade Fair will be taking place again this year on May 4, and there is still room for vendors available. The fair offers a variety of local vendors, including a table for Legion members to donate to, and as usual, will be holding a penny parade. Interested parties can call the Legion office at (306) 692-5453 during the week to book a table.
On May 11, Trivia Night will be happening in the lounge at 7pm, featuring six rounds of trivia and cash prizes at the end of the evening. The cost is $5 per person, and teams of up to 8 can register as they come in the door that night. There will be tacos-in-a-bag available at intermission.
These fundraisers are going towards the cost of things such as the renovations happening from April 14 - 21, according to public relations chairperson Norma Richardson.
The kitchen is undergoing the installation of new sinks and cupboard repainting, and Richardson said that the Legion is currently welcoming any volunteers who want to help with the project.
“Anybody that wants to volunteer some time, doesn't have to be the whole week, but anytime that they can spare,” said Richardson. “[We’re] always looking for painters and worker bees.”
Fundraising also goes towards the many programs the Legion provides for veterans, which is what the Legion exists to do.
“Money from the Legion will also go towards veterans helping veterans, which is our main function — to support veterans and their causes,” said Richardson.
