Duffy-Wescott Post 85
Given the COVID-19 threat we hope all are well, safe and secure. The Maine Centers for Disease Control (CDC) site link below, will give pertinent information and case identification for the entire state. Please do not rely on rumors and potentially inaccurate information that may be spread intentionally or unintentionally. The site is updated as changes occur.
With all the unknowns of the COVID-19 threat and to be in compliance with State requirements as identified on the Maine CDC site, , we are canceling ALL upcoming meeting and events that we cannot reasonably hold. The Post calendar (on this site) will be updated as we address those events.
MEMORIAL DAY 2020
Memorial Day did happen, but unfortunately it could not be promoted and had to be a minimized event this year (10 or less people was the state limit on gatherings at the time) and was not an advertised general public event.
While the event was held and flags were posted throughout town as in past years - to include cemeteries and the Town Hall - we were NOT funded by the Town of Blue Hill and all funds for the flags, etc. came from Duffy-Wescott Post 85 resources intended for the building and general expenditures. We had to spend the money in April!
Any donations you can make would be greatly appreciated - see below.
