Years later
As
November 11th, 2018 was 100 years after the end of the Armistice that was to
mark the end of all wars, wars and conflict are still prevalent today. Each year, parades and ceremonies are held all over the
world so that we carry the torch that was handed to us in memory of those who did not return as they
will not die but will always be remembered. Closer to home are those that did
return in distant past and most recently that are waging their own internal
war. This song by Nova Scotian J. P. Cormier entitled "Hometown Battlefield" I think is apropo. Have a listen.

Draft By-Laws Update
The ANAVETS Sidney Museum Unit 302 By-Laws as Amended to July 24, 2003 have
been revised and having been submitted and approved at the Provincial Command
level and, forwarded to Dominion Command, Dominion Command had several issues
that required revision. This Summer, your Unit 302 Committee has had three
meetings to adjust the Bylaws as requested by Dominion Command. Dominion again
this past week had more issues which have been revised and the finished draft
finally approved. With Dominion Command approving the final draft, the membership
ratified that draft now called May 26th, 2019 By-Laws and are being forwarded
to Provincial Command for their signatures. Once all signatures are present, The Unit
will print copies and I'll put the bylaws right here on the website. It's been a long
hall process and it is now done.
Our
new Executive has been elected at the Annual General Meeting January 2019.
You can see a picture and the names of the new Unit Executive and LA
Executive on the Unit & LA Exec page.
