AUGUSTA — The Kennebec Valley District of Scouting plans to honor the American Legion, American Legion Auxiliary, and Sons of the American Legion during a special breakfast on Saturday, May 6.
The breakfast will begin at 8:30 a.m. at American Legion Fitzgerald-Cummings Post 2 in Augusta, 7 Legion Drive.
“Each year, Scouting honors a person or group for their amazing contributions to our lives,” Kennebec Valley District Commissioner Eric Handley of Sidney said in a news release from Chuck Mahaleris, district chairman for the Kennebec Valley District of Scouting. “Last year, we recognized the important work done by the medical professionals and support staff at MaineGeneral Hospital.
“This year, we are recognizing the veterans of the American Legion and the entire Legion family for providing outstanding service to our communities since 1919,” Handley added. “They answered when our nation asked for their help, and when they returned home they continued to serve as members of the Legion, Auxiliary, and Sons of the Legion.”
Space is limited to the first 100 attendees. Email Mahaleris at [email protected] to reserve a spot.
