Special Veterans' Day Program

We will have a special Rotary breakfast meeting for members and Veterans from 7-9 a.m. on November 11th at the Holiday Inn By-The-Bay. After breakfast, we will walk up to rededicate the monument at Andrews Square* (see below) and then on to the parade at 10:30 a.m. 

There is the customary meal fee of $15.00 for members and can be paid at the door. You need to register online (click HERE) if you plan to attend or contact Elise at: portlandrotary@maine.rr.com. We need to provide the hotel with an attendance count by the deadline of 11/2/15.

To further honor the Veterans, we'd like to treat them to a free breakfast at that meeting and are looking for sponsors to help subsidize the cost. 

Sponsorship Opportunities:
Platinum Sponsor ($2500) - includes 10 reserved seats and recognition at event, in media and print.
Gold Sponsor ($1,000) - Recognition at event, in media and print.
Silver Sponsor ($500) - Recognition at event.

If you are unable to attend the event, but would still like to support our local Veterans with a donation, you can click HERE, or you may send your check to: Rotary Club of Portland, Maine, P.O. Box 1755, Portland, ME 04104 and indicate it is for the Special Veterans' Day Breakfast. 

*In 1919 Portland Rotary donated $3,500 to create a monument and flagpole paying tribute to Harold Andrews, the first soldier killed in WWI from Maine. The monument is in Andrews Square, right next to the Butler School on Pine Street in the West End. The monument is in rough shape and we are working with the Harold Andrews American Legion Post and the City of Portland to have it refurbished in time for this Veterans' Day.

Thank you.
