It was great to see you all last night at our May Business After Hours at the Travis Mills Foundation Retreat for Recalibrated Veterans in Rome, Maine. ✨

With an amazing turnout, it was a fantastic opportunity to connect and network with fellow members before the busy summer season begins. Guests had the chance to tour the retreat’s incredible — and often unseen — facilities, learn more about the programs and services the Foundation provides to recalibrated veterans and their families, and even spend time mingling with Travis Mills himself. 🤝

The Retreat for Recalibrated Veterans provides adaptive, barrier-free programs designed to support post-9/11 veterans and their families through connection, resilience, and recovery, and it was truly special to experience the impact of their mission firsthand. 🇺🇸

A huge thank you to the entire Travis Mills Foundation team for opening the retreat to our members and giving us exclusive access to the property for the evening!

Thank you as well to our sponsors Cross Insurance, Kennebec Savings Bank, and Valley Beverage for helping make the evening possible. 👏
