Kingston BBQ & Games Day: A special thanks goes out to Gord Penney for his efforts in organizing the function, and to the merry band of gentlemen who are always there to help out. Noel Coward, Ron Knapton, Al Lawless, Larry Rodgers, Phil Lee and a special thanks to Jim Gratto who not only donated a carving but pestered everyone into buying tickets. A PDF of photos and comments has been created. I am just waiting for it to be added to the website then I will send the link.

Relayed from Gary Hayes: The 4`h of May 2010 marked the 100`h Anniversary of the Naval Service of Canada. As part of this historic event, a special naval cairn honouring Canada's senior service will be unveiled in Kingston's Navy Memorial Park adjacent to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes the 17`h of July 2010. Consider a donation to help offset the financial cost associated with mounting this 100`h Anniversary cairn?
If interested, make cheque payable to Navy League of Canada (Kingston Branch) - Naval Cairn mailed to Capt. (N) John Plant, OMM, CD. 1295 Highway #2 East, Kingston, Ontario, K7L 4Vl.

Other Associations: I receive many emails from various members which are forwards from KOREAN VETERANs Association, Veterans Affairs and other agencies. I do not want to ignore these perhaps important items yet I wonder how many members who are interested in this news already subscribe to the posts: thus I am just repeating known information and consuming bandwidth.
So my thought is to simply make the various links known and you can visit or ignore at your pleasure
