Each year the Royal Canadian Legion conducts the Poppy Campaign, along with thousands of our members who volunteer from coast to coast to coast, to raise funds in support of Veterans and their families. The US Zone, Branch #25 (representing the San Francisco Bay area) is starting their 2019 poppy campaign this month. Poppies are distributed freely, but your generous donations are invaluable.  For more information or to find out where you can pick up a poppy, visit by their site here.
