ROTARY SPEAKER: HONOR FLIGHT MAINE PRESENTATION — NOVEMBER 19
The Bridgton Lake Region Rotary Club will welcome Major General Tom Spencer (Ret.), Chairman of the Board for Honor Flight Maine, as guest speaker on Thursday, November 19. Spencer, a York resident, retired in 2024 after 37 years of service in the U.S. Army and National Guard, culminating as Commanding General of the 42nd Infantry Division. He now leads Honor Flight Maine’s efforts to bring Veterans to Washington, D.C., for their deeply meaningful recognition and remembrance.
Joining Major General Spencer will be Tim and Tammy Bailey of Naples, the two Guardians the Bridgton Lake Region Rotary Club helped sponsor on September’s Honor Flight. They will be joined by the Veterans they accompanied—Tammy’s father, Duane Nichols, a Navy Veteran, and her aunt, Debra Nichols, an Army Veteran. Together, the Baileys and the Nichols family will share their firsthand experiences, the emotional moments of the trip, and the powerful impact Honor Flight has on Veterans and their loved ones.
The presentation offers a unique opportunity to learn more about the Honor Flight mission, the role of Guardians, and how local support helps ensure that Veterans receive the gratitude and recognition they deserve. Charlotte Kelly has firsthand experience of being a Guardian. She said, “I am thrilled to be able to share this experience and hope that folks from the broader community will join us on the 19th to hear these amazing stories.”
The Bridgton Lake Region Rotary Club meets on Thursdays at 7:30 AM at the Bridgton Alliance Church Fellowship Hall, 368 Harrison Road (Route 117), Bridgton. A Zoom option is available; email LakeRegionRotary@gmail.com for the link.
