I’m hoping everyone had a safe and enjoyable
summer. I’d like to start off by thanking the Over 55
and Retired Club for taking care of our flowers this
year; they look awesome! On behalf of the Unit
Executive, I’d also like to thank Bill Muir for looking
after the cost of the removal of the old shrubs at the
property we own next to our building and the planting
of the sod. This has certainly cleaned up the look of
our property!
I would like to thank the
Royal Canadian Legion #1
for donating the plaque that
we are proudly displaying
in the main lounge.
Back in July we celebrated our 68th Anniversary,
along with our Ladies Auxiliary. I would like to
personally thank the Ladies for their donation to the
Unit. We had a very good turn out from our members
and I thank you for your support! At the Anniversary
celebration, Dominion Command Vice President Ron
Smith presented Comrade Gord Criggar with the
Award of Merit, which is the highest award our
association recognizes. Gord, on behalf of our Unit
Executive and our members, we congratulate you;
you are most deserving of it! I would also like to
congratulate Bill Muir on his achievement of Member
of the Year, Duncan Manson being recognized as
Sports Person of the Year and Doug and Margaret
Rixen, along with Gord Ayotte, and Terry
Abrahamson on their Certificates of Appreciation
with Medal. Also to Diane Magrel for her Certificate
of Appreciation. Finally, I’d like to congratulate all
members who were awarded Long Service Pins.
Also in July we held our 55 and Retired Golf
Tournament, along with a BBQ and reception held
back at the Unit. I enjoyed being a part of this day
and was impressed with the turnout; a fun day was
had by all!
Unfortunately comrades, I was unable to attend the
annual Can-Am tournament in Grand Forks the
weekend of August 22nd. As you know, I always
enjoy this event but as many of you know, my
granddaughter has been receiving treatment and that
was a particularly difficult time for my family. I am
pleased to let you know that she is starting to show
signs of improved recovery and we are hopeful that
things will continue on the right track. I heard
through the grapevine that despite my absence, a
great time was had by all and I look forward to seeing
our American friends in June 2015 and then joining
everyone there next August. I’d like to personally
thank my First Vice President, Sheldon Clupp, for
attending and bringing greetings on my behalf.
I’d like to thank all those members who have signed
up to be a part of our sports program this fall. I’m
looking forward to seeing everyone back in the
Unit. A special thank you to those members who have
let their names stand for Sports Chair and Co-Chairs
and for stepping up and running the leagues.
In closing comrades, I’m looking forward, along with
your Executive, to attending our Dominion
Convention in Penticton in October. Just a reminder
that our next General Meeting will be September 18th
at 7:30 sharp! Enjoy your last few days of summer!
PRESIDENT’S REPORT Hayden Kent
Ron Smith - Dominion Command Vice President, Gord
Criggar - Award of Merit, Cheryl Criggar
Hope everyone had a great summer and are looking
forward to a nice Fall. We are starting off to another
busy year with all our various activities.
The golf tournament between the Unit
and Over 55 was held on July 27th at the
Blumberg Golf Course, hosted by the
Unit, followed by a Steak BBQ at the
club. The Unit reclaimed the trophy.
At the Unit’s 68th Anniversary Party, held on July
12th, some of our members received awards for
volunteering. Member of the Year was presented to
Bill Muir. Certificate of Appreciation with Medals
were awarded to Gord Ayotte, Terry Abrahamson,
Marg Rixen, and Doug Rixen. And Certificate of
Appreciation was awarded to Diane Magrel.
Congratulations to all.
Thank you to Ed Mazur for the beautiful flower beds,
and to all who helped keep them weeded. Once again,
it is a job well done.
An afternoon of fun, games and food was enjoyed by
a group of our members who attended the
Charleswood Visitation on August 14th. Some even
took home prizes.
Thank you to our volunteers who worked the Deer
Lodge Bingo on July 23rd and to those who worked
our Meat Draw on July 25th.
The barrels that hold donations for our Craft and
Bake Sale are now in the Unit near the Nevada booth.
Please drop off any articles you want to get rid of and
non-perishable items for our Grocery Hamper Draw.
All are greatly appreciated. Sale will be held on
October 18th from 9:00am to 2:00pm.

HAVE A GREAT, SAFE,
LABOUR DAY WEEKEND
OVER 55 & RETIRED Marg Rixen
Well, July and August are over and the ladies will
resume meetings and catering come September. Our
time off included a lunch, attended by ten of our
ladies at Assiniboine Downs. The buffet and
afternoon of small betting was great fun. Fran O’Neil
was our big winner with $46.00 on a $2.00 bet. Grey
Ponies and the Number 6 are certainly her favourites.
The rest of us either lost a little or broke even.
Some of our ladies went to cottages or just enjoyed
the deck and our city parks and visiting friends.
We did a Celebration of Life for Reg Baldwin and it
was a trip down memory lane with Reg’s family and
friends. The unveiling of Reg’s Bronze Plaque was
part of a very special afternoon for everyone.
All of our ladies will be looking forward to a nice fall
season as summer has been quite hot. Our Meat Draw
went off well on August 31st. It was well attended,
thanks to everyone. Also, thanks to Lito and his staff
for all their hard work while the ladies were
unavailable.
Our next Executive Meeting is September 9th at 7:00
pm followed by our General Meeting at 7:15 pm. We
hope to see everyone out.
Our ladies celebrate a special birthday in September
as our Doris Weber turns 90. This is a wonderful
event and we wish her many more, good health and
happiness.
Our sick and visiting is free from reports this month
which is a good thing.
To all our members who are shut-ins, we send our
good wishes and hope you all have a speedy
recovery. To our service men and women, our
thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
Enjoy our lovely weather, drive safe and enjoy our
Unit events and camaraderie.
Sports sign-ups went well and our groups will be
starting up in September so have great seasons
everyone.
Remember all the Aims and Objectives of the ANAF
Veteran's Association.

LOTTERIES David Walker
LADIES AUXILIARY Elvia Furutani
Welcome back everyone! I hope that a relaxing
fun-filled summer was had by all. Here at #283 we
were happy to see regular groups of members come
through our doors each week. Thanks to my group of
trivia buffs who come in each Wednesday afternoon
for a pint and a few laughs. This has become
somewhat of a tradition for us and I know we all
look forward to it! Drop by Wednesday afternoon if
you’d like to partake in some trivia fun.
Bill and I were honoured to attend the Unit
Anniversary on July 12th. It was wonderful to see so
many members recognized for their special
contributions to the Unit. I’m quite certain there
wasn’t a dry eye in the house when Gord Criggar
accepted his award. Congratulations to all the
recipients!
WHAT’S NEW AT 283 Diane Humphrey
1095 is the number of happy members who belong to
Unit 283. We are still trying to achieve last year’s
total. The members who have not renewed must have
forgotten. Please make the effort. We would greatly
appreciate receiving your renewal.
The Membership Committee congratulates all of the
members who received awards and long service pins
at the 68th Anniversary of the Unit. It was especially
gratifying to be in attendance and witness the highest
award, the Award of Merit, bestowed upon Comrade
Gord Crigger. This award is for distinguished and
extraordinary service in times of peace beyond the
call of duty. Gord, you truly deserve this award.
Also, congratulations to William ‘Tony’ Pelletier for
having been a member of Unit 283 for 65 years.
We hope that all members and their families enjoyed
the summer break and look forward to the fall season
and the many programs that resume in September.
MEMBERSHIP Leo Barron
Well fall must be coming, the farmers are now
harvesting, the pro is talking about closing golf
tournaments for members at the golf course, the
sports teams are starting another year of games and
as I write this we’re on our way to Grand Forks to
win our Can-Am golf trophy back from the
Americans who won it this spring at Elm Creek.
The Ways and Means portfolio is moving along
smoothly. Although our crowds have been down
over the summer, we are still making a profit.
Another sign of fall is Terry Murray has been
working on the Thanksgiving hamper baskets. The
sale of hamper tickets will start September 11th with
the draw being held October 4th. Also on October 4th
we will be having a seventh draw of all turkeys, just
in time for Thanksgiving.
Grey Cup tickets have been ordered and will be out
during the month of September.
At this time I would like to thank Barb Sadler, who
has spent a lot of time over the summer making sure
we have people to fill in for those on holidays, and
all the people who said “yes, we would be glad to
help”.
What a great club we have and remember it’s you,
the members, that make it that way.
If you would like to volunteer, please
let Barb Sadler or Terry Murray
know, and we will do our best to find
a spot best suited for your talents.
WAYS & MEANS Bill Sadler
Hope everyone enjoyed their summer. Nice to see
more people around the Unit. Thanks for your support
of Red Friday and the Tuesday night 50/50 over the
summer.

PIPE BAND Barbie Sands
Hi everyone! The summer sure went by fast! Gale
Walker, Jimm Simon and I from our pipe band and
several others from Winnipeg travelled to Scotland
this past July with the Can-Am Pipe Band. Over the
course of three weeks we played in some beautiful
places including Dunnottar Castle, Scone Palace,
Glencoe, Eilean Donan Castle and Peterhead, just to
name a few. It was a massed pipe band with people
from all different provinces and a few from the
United States. I got to talk to several Scottish veterans
as they immediately noticed the ANAVETS crest on
my glen and bagpipe bag. A few of us on a day off
from piping went to a town called Grantown and
found the Royal British Legion Strathespey Branch
by accident while we were trying to get out of the
rain. The lady behind the bar told us that they sure
don’t have as many members as us but they draw a
crowd of hundreds on Remembrance Day. We stayed
for a beverage and bought a lot of their poppy pins
and key chains!
The Scottish people warmly welcomed us wherever
we went and enjoyed listening to our pipe band!
Pictured above is the Can-Am massed pipe band at
Scone Palace!
Our Thursday night band practices start back up in
September and we will start practicing for the Terry
Fox Run and Remembrance Day as we will be
playing at our Unit and at Riverview Care Home.
Thank you for supporting our 50/50 draws all
summer!

PUBLICITY Sheldon Clupp
Hope everyone had a great summer. I sure enjoyed
my first complete summer off in over 30 years.
The highlight for me and Joanne of course was the
celebration of marriage between our very beautiful
daughter Natasha and the handsome and always
charming Matt Grosvenor, grandson of Harry and
Jean Grosvenor. It was a gorgeous, and thankfully
very short, outdoor ceremony on a beautiful hot
sunny day at Bel Acres Golf and Country Club. They
are truly a beautiful couple and I wish them both all
the success and happiness forever.
Things around the club are about to get very busy
again with the sports starting up again and all the
meetings getting back on schedule. So I think this
would be a good time to go on a vacation. With
Dominion Convention in Penticton coming up in
early October, Joanne and I have planned a one week
holiday at Wolf Creek Resort in Eden, Utah before
the convention and another one week holiday after
the convention at Crestwood
Resort in Whitefish, Montana.
We’ll be in the mountains for
nearly a month. Should be a
very elevating experience.
So with Joanne and I gone, the
very capable Jon Miller will be
producing the October
news l e t t e r . Fo r t hos e
submitting reports for October,
please ensure that you get
them in on time and send them
Congratulations to all those
who received an award at the
Unit Anniversary, all well
deserved. Sorry I was unable
to attend that night, especially
to witness Comrade Gord
Criggar receive his 'Award of
Meri t ' f rom Dominion
Command Vice President, Ron
Smith. Gord, a very special
congratulations to you.

TRI-SERVICE VETERANS R.G. Hemlow
First and foremost we would like to
welcome you all back from summer
vacation and hope you had a great
time. Well "S" is just around the
corner and you know what that means.
("S" is for September, what did you
think we meant?) This month brings
General Meetings, all sports start up again, plus the
Tuesday night meat/bake draw where we hope to see
all your smiling faces. Thanks to all who supported
us throughout the summer.
On the Friday evening of July 18th, we had the
privilege of meeting three amazing veterans, Steve,
Jason and Scott. Thank you for sharing your stories,
bringing much needed awareness to PTSD, plus
joining us and our comrades at ANAVETS. The Unit
presented them with pins and shirts and the Tri
Service presented them with our coins. A couple of
us went and walked about 5km with them where they
expressed so much thanks and appreciation to our
Unit and our association. We have kept in touch and
it has been stated that the awareness of this march
really took off after visiting us.
The Tri Service Vets volunteered to help at the
Canadian Trucking Magazine/Canadian Trucking
Show in support of Manitoba Special Olympics and
Manitoba Cancer Foundation. Then there was a trip
to Sturgis for pre-week were the scenery was
beautiful plus tassels and fun was had by all. As
always, the Tri Service Veterans Association would
like to thank you for your support.

our American friends. It was a great time. This time
the rain held off until we were off the 19th hole.
We will be getting new snooker balls for the start-up
of snooker and at that time we ask that 'NO
OUTSIDE SNOOKER BALLS COME INTO THE
CLUB' as we don’t want the snooker balls mixed up.
Remember if you like your freedom, HUG a Veteran.

with the Ladies Snooker League. We have 10 teams
and are going to change our format this year. We will
be having two round-robins and one play-off round.
This should be much more fun, especially for those of
us who always seem to be at the bottom of the page.
We are going to be missing one of our most beloved
players, Gwenne Sorenson, who is now in Oakview.
We are definitely going to miss her great sense of
humour and her sometimes hilarious shots.
We would like to welcome two new players to our
league, Minna Orchard and Shannon Casey. They are
also new members at 283. We look forward to having
you with us on Thursday nights. We also welcome
back Gail Karman who was absent due to surgery.
We missed you Gail.
Our league officially starts on September 18th but we
will be holding a clinic on September 11th. A short
meeting will be held at 6:30 on the 11th with the clinic
to follow at 7:00. Our draw master, Kerry Miller, will
explain the new format to everyone and schedules
will be handed out at that time. Also, all members
who could not attend the Sports-a-Rama can register
at that time. Remember, you must have your ANAF
283 membership to play.
We will be hosting another Sadie Hawkins
Tournament. This tournament is open to any club
member and guest(s) and we can usually provide a
partner if you wish to sign up as an individual. The
date is Saturday, November 8th. The event runs from
9:30 to approximately 4:00 – depending on how
many teams we have and how good (or bad) they are.
The cost is $7.50 per person. We have prizes and we
have cake!!! Sign-up sheets will go up in the games
room at the beginning of October.
Our next meat draw is September 5th and the gals
working are Linda A., Bertha, Emily, Janice and me.
While summer has been somewhat disappointing at
times and at other times simply awesome, it is slowly
but surely going away. We hope you had a great
summer and we look forward to seeing everyone back
from holidays. Dare we hope for our
usual wonderful, warm Indian
Summer?
See you at the tables.

I can’t believe it is the end of August and moving on
to September. I trust everyone had a wonderful
summer filled with fun and good times.
We are gearing up for the curling season…BRRRR!
Oh well, so be it. There is a meeting scheduled for
September 4th at 6:00pm at 283 for all skips in the
Sunday morning curling league. If the skip cannot
make it, please send a team representative to join the
meeting. At this meeting we will discuss the date we
will start, team fees and a few other topics. I am very
excited this season as we have so far two new teams
joining the league. We need one more to make
twelve teams. So if anyone is interested in joining
our fun curling league, please let me, Judie Brown
204-294-6078 or Sheldon Clupp know and we will
gladly talk to you and your team. Please try to make
the September 4th meeting.
