President’s Message
Hi everyone!
Hard to believe that our long-awaited summer will be wrapping up soon! I hope everyone has enjoyed the unseasonably hot weather we had! We have a family summer house on Sebago Lake and I think it’s safe to say the water has never been warmer.
Thanks to all who attended our June Luncheon at the South Portland Military Museum on June 15th. It was also great to see many of you at the Clambake on August 3rd at the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. The rain stopped just in time for us to enjoy a gorgeous day on the water!
Also. a huge shout-out to Jay Fay and Mike Delia for organizing another successful golf tournament on July 31st. We raised over $5,000 for our Chapter and had a great time! Many Chapter members came to help on the day of the tournament – it was a great team effort!
Our next meeting will be a luncheon on September 7th at the Naval Museum in Brunswick. I’ve never been there so I am excited to check it out! We will have time to tour the museum and will also meet Jeff Van Fleet, a key advocate for Homeless Veterans. Our Chapter has been working with Jeff for over 15 years to help support the needs of homeless veterans in Maine, and our Board thought that it was time that we had him come and talk with us about his initiatives. Cook’s lobster house will be providing the catering – I’m sure it will be delicious! Reservations Form
Hope to see you all on the 7th!
Yours in Service, Brenda Pennels, Chapter President
2024 Chapter Golf Tournament
The g olf tournament was a success, raising over $5,000 dollars for the ROTC Scholarship fund. There were ten sponsors and twelve teams who participated. The final count on the net dollars will take place shortly as there were a large number of mulligans sold, and the 50/50 prize of $110 was returned by the winner.
Thanks to all who helped this effort and made it a success. (Jack Fay, Secretary)
