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. We have been working with the Harold Andrews American Legion Post and the City of Portland to have it refurbished in time for this Veterans' Day. It looks great!

 

This Wednesday, November 11th is Veterans' Day and we have a special Rotary breakfast meeting planned for members, guests and veterans. After the breakfast program, we will walk/ride up to re-dedicate the monument and then on to the parade at 10:30 a.m. 

Senator Angus King will be our featured speaker!

Help support our Veterans this Veterans' Day!

  Thank you.
