This Ontario legion got over 500 new members this year

Could your next hangout be at the Royal Canadian Legion? This branch brought in over 500 new members this year. Here's why. Since January we've had 525 members join this branch. We've been getting a lot of 30, 40 year old people, a younger generation that come out. They know everybody in this community so it just keeps that all together. It has outdoor facilities and all kinds of amenities that we can play darts and play pool and play horseshoes. Well, years ago when I used to hear about the Legion, it was... Veterans only. Now anybody can join, and that's what opens it all up. You know what I call it? A great, big, huge family. I'm telling you, come two, three times a week, it's a lot of fun. You can help just financially by being here and having a drink or, you know, having a slice of pie or one of their dinners that they put on, which are fantastic. We've got the biggest membership east of Alberta. This is Hesper. We've got like 1,400, 1,500 members. They couldn't fit in here all at once. You think back to the sacrifices people made and you look at what this branch does and it isn't just for the veterans, they do it for the community.
