The Wiscasset Bradford-Sortwell-Wright American Legion Post 54 proudly announces the re-activation of the Sons of the American Legion, Squadron 54 Charter. There are currently 33 paid members, made up of previous Charter members, as well as many brand new members.

The first fundraiser that we are undertaking is a bottle drive in Wiscasset on Saturday, May 10. The proceeds will benefit youth and community programs.

We will be holding our monthly meeting on Saturday, May 10 at 10 a.m. Then we will proceed with the bottle drive. Any members that are interested in helping are asked to come to the meeting at 10 a.m. or to the Legion at 11 a.m.

Anyone with bottles they would like to donate can contact on of the people listed at the end of this article.

The normal monthly meeting will be held on the second Sunday of the month at 10 a.m. This month we are holding the meeting on Saturday, May 10 because Sunday is Mother's Day.

We would like to have as many members attend the meeting as possible. We have a lot of new ideas and plans and can always use more ideas and people to make things happen.
