Veterans and Community Connection Expo

- 4/29/2026

I am excited to share that Togus RO has partnered with Maine Bureau of Veterans’ Service, and we have been hard at work planning our next Veteran and Community Connections Expo (details below), which is set to take place on Saturday, June 6th, at the Boothbay Railway Village.

During these events, participants will have the opportunity to connect with mental health services, engage with representatives who can assist in building important community ties, and learn about safe-storage options aimed at preventing Veteran suicide. 

Attached is the flyer for the event in Boothbay Harbor, Saturday, June 6th .We would ask that you help us spread the word about this event, and encourage any Veteran, Service Member, or family to attend!
