Since that time, it has been an integral part of the town of Bay Roberts as well as the local area. Over the years the club has grown from its humble beginnings as a one room building on the waterfront to a multipurpose facility capable of hosting large gatherings. The well-appointed kitchen facilities can provide meals for up to 140 people and have been utilized over the years for Community Breakfasts, Banquets, Weddings and Parties.

Branch 32 has never lost the reason for its existence and that is to improve the lives of Veterans, ex-service members and their families. It has been our principal objective since day one and we will continue to work for it every day forward.
