Twenty-seven women veterans gather Saturday for the 8th Annual Women Veterans Luncheon hosted by Rumford American Legion Post 24. Dirigo High School art teacher Dianna Doherty, standing, led veterans in a “paint ‘n take” craft with a pumpkin theme. Each woman was presented with a gift bag, many filled with hand-quilted and crocheted blankets, and heartfelt gifts. Bruce Farrin/Rumford Falls Times
