As per Robert's request, a quote from the newsletter:

The Royal Westminster Regiment - 150 years of History Book

Hello Friends and Supporters of The Royal Westminster Regiment:

As you may have already heard, The Royal Westminster Regiment will be celebrating 150 years of valiant service in 2013. To commemorate this significant milestone, we are publishing a pictorial history coffee table book as one of our " C150 " Legacy Projects. Books are now being presold and we are securing sponsors (who will have their name acknowledged in the front of the book and invited to a VIP pre-launch).

Our volunteer book team has assembled a comprehensive collection of photographs, facts, memorabilia and records, many of which are being published for the first time. This will be an interesting and comprehensive pictorial recount of our Regiment's distinguished 150 year history of service to our Country. In addition, the book will include embarkation rolls from both World Wars as well as the Boer War which will be of interest to historians and genealogists. This will be a quality hard cover book with approximately 300 pages and will make a wonderful Christmas Gift. Here is a link to the flip book sample (Scroll across and lick on the top right hand corner of the page to flip the pages): http://www.vivalogue.ca/150_RWR_sample.html

I hope you will consider supporting at the $150 level (includes one copy of the book) or at the $500 level (which includes two copies). Single copies can also be pre-ordered for $80. The cut-off for the publisher to have the supporter names in the front pages of the book is Monday, October 8th so I thought I would pass along the information in case you or your family/friends/associates may be interested in helping at the ground level. I didn't want you to miss the deadline! You can pre-purchase a copy or indicate your supporter/sponsor level online at: http://www.vivalogue.ca/royal_westminster_regiment.php

Thank you in advance for your continued support of The Royal Westminster Regiment. We look forward to seeing you at one of our C150 events in 2013!
