AUGUSTA — Back In The Maine Stream is a nonprofit organization of disabled veterans with a strong desire to help other disabled Maine veterans increase their quality of life and heal physical and emotional trauma through recreational fishing. The group is looking for a few new members.
Honorably discharged Maine veterans with a disability of 10 percent or more can join BITMS. Members help organize fundraisers, go on scheduled fishing trips, attending monthly meetings and assist other veterans in doing the same.
The monthly meetings cover organizational business and usually include some kind of learning sessions like fly-tying, knot-tying, rod-building, fishing techniques, discussing upcoming fishing trips and the usual fishing stories.
The meeting takes place at American Legion Post 205, Route 17, 396 Eastern Ave., at 9 a.m. the fourth Wednesday of each month.
Interested veterans who would like to join, or those wishing to make a donation to the cause, may call Marc Bilodeau at 207-998-3569 or Bob Pelletier at 207-468-7417.
