C. J. Kinross VC Legion #180

08/17/2026

Today, the Killam and Kinross branch hosted the 1st Annual District 3 Legion Golf tournament! We had some amazing prizes donated and awesome service at the Sedgewick Golf Course. And I was golfing so I didn't take any pictures.... we should have taken some team pictures- next year I will remember! But either way it was a fun day, with great golfers, lots of laughs and I am looking forward to next year! Though my teammates may not want me back! Thank goodness it was best ball.
Thank heavens for Marie Miller - I got an education, as she was dealing with a non-golfer! Especially thankful for Marcy Lazarick for her knowledge and organizational skills and patience with Jayne! Bud James BBQs an awesome steak, he cooked for us all! And to all our donors- ATB, Diamond J Bakery, Town of Killam, Johnson Simmentals, Soul Barn Massage, Sedgewick IGA, Midnight Jamming, S James Agencies, Karen Cannady, Rocky Mountain Equipment, Salted, Vision Credit Union-Sedgewick branch, Sideline Laser/RTS, The Country Cupboard, Denise Bratland , Garry Klein, and CJ Kinross VC branch (And if I missed anyone - I am sorry! )Thank you for making it a great day! If anyone took pictures, please post.

What a weekend- Saturday night was another open mic... and for the first time in a long time, we had more audience than musicians... everyone who was there loved Ralph and Lornes old time Waltzes and could sing along to all of Mary's songs! It was a good night as always!
But Jayne forgot the popcorn bowl, so muffins only. Can't wait for next month... I know it will be harvest, but maybe some others would like to come out and show us what they can do... Tuesdays and Saturdays seem to be good days, audience wise... Will post a date for the next one soon!

Come write a message of Remembrance in honor of a Canadian veteran, with Jayne Odegard. These will be used in a commemorative mural in honor of the Legions 100th year.
Send Jayne a message if you want to meet up with her. Or need more information. We have a week before we need to send them to Command.

Setting up for lunch, before the service! What a great crew to work with- 2 with what has to be ADD, a few absent minded, one super good getter, running circles around the rest.. and the beauty that took the picture Sandra Rosichuck- saved our butts, by starting the coffee while we were at the service!
It takes a village and we have a great one!!
All for you Comrade Ella, 104 years and we just couldnt get enough of ya! Rest easy!

Tonight we are open for another open mic night! We have Mary and hopefully a few more people to come and play and sing along!

Today was Comrade Ella's funeral, I think she will love the music tonight!
