Three Rivers Kiwanis honors those who served with annual dinner

MILO — The annual Three Rivers Kiwanis of Milo/Brownville Veterans Day Dinner, held this year on Monday, Nov. 12 at the town hall, has been serving up meals to honor the holiday for nearly 15 years.

The event is a way for the Kiwanis Club to say thank you to veterans from all branches of military service.

Veterans and their families enjoyed fellowship, musical entertainment provided by the Elementary Veterans Singers, and, of course, a great meal prepared by Elaine’s Cafe in Milo with help from several Kiwanians, and the Penquis Valley High School Key Club.

“They’ve served their country, so we need to serve them,” said Brenda Kelley, the Lt. Governor for the Kiwanis Div. 2. “We need to show we’re proud of them and we appreciate everything they’ve done for us.”

A special ceremony honoring prisoners of war and those missing in action was also hosted Monday by American Legion Post 41 of Milo.
