On Feb. 23, four of Hisako Ara’s speech arts students from Forest Grove will participate in a student recital at Evangelical Free Church in
100 Mile House at 2:30 p.m.
This performance will allow them to get in some valuable practise for the upcoming 100 Mile Festival of the Arts, which take place April 22 to May 2.
Come one, come all
As the years have gone by, the Royal Canadian Legion has had to evolve.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch #261-Forest Grove is working very hard to let the community know everyone is welcome – members and non-members alike. Even though folks don't have to become a member to enter the Legion, they must be signed in by one.
Those who want to take their families out for supper should know their children are welcome, as there is family dining every Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
The Legion also hosts seniors, cribbage and dart clubs, Friday Steak Night, Saturday meat draw and now church services are held every Sunday night at 7 p.m.
In the summer months, it's even busier because more outdoor activities take place. Barbecues and baseball are some of the usual events and the newest event is the Redneck Weekend – are well attended.
In the years past, people could only join the Legion if they or one of their relatives was in the military, but this is no longer the case. New members are always welcomed and encouraged.
