VERDUN REUNION DANCE JULY 19th. Verdun Legion
Hi all Verdunites, where-ever you are! There will be a Verdun reunion dance July 19th.(this year 08) at the Verdun Legion No. 4. Tickets are $10.00 each with proceeds going to various charities.
Re: The O.P.F.A., West Island Palliative Care, The Brest Cancer Foundation to name a few.
Tickets are limited to 200 and as we only got them Friday, sales are going well.
The doors / dance will open at 7:00 P.M. with a D.J. playing all the good old tunes from the 60's and the band The Generation Gap will play 2 - 3 sets throughout the evening. There will be door prizes and possibly a contest or two to keep the evening lively.
So don't be dissapointed and plan your July 19th. Saturday evening in good old Verdun. Come early and go to Norman's for a burger and fries (still tastes the same) or Woodland Pizza for those with a more refined palate. E-mail me for more info or tickes.
Regards
Dave

Lachine Canal Area Development
There is a Lachine Canal Development going on in the Lachine Canal area as described in the enclosed La Presse article this morning. Look what is happening to the old Imperial Tobacco, Northern Electric, Lowney factories, CN, Canada Post as well as the Griffintown projected development. Unbeleivable the changes that have taken place and still to come, this is the area of the future. Many Verdunites have worked in these factories including my wife who worked for the Imperial Tobacco co.
