VOLENTEERS ARE STILL NEEDED
Volunteers are still needed. Summer time always leaves us short of people. There is always room for a few extra people to fill in. If we want to keep our Legion a fun vibrant place we need your help. It’s not a full time commitment, once a month or once a year. It will make a difference.
We are looking for a few people to help out with Bingo on Wednesdays and some Mondays.
Friday Foods are short staffed. If you would like to do some cooking or help out in the kitchen it would be greatly appreciated.
Speak to any member of the Executive or leave your name at the Bar and we will get in touch with you.
