American Legion Post 2 commander Richard Schreiner presented donations to several local non-profit organizations earlier this week, according to a press release from the post.

Schreiner presented a check to local Salvation Army Captain Emmanuel Echavarria. A few days later Schreiner presented the Salvation Army Echavarria with five turkeys for the soup kitchen that is run from the church basement on Stearn Street.

Schreiner, later in the week, presented Brian’s Angels executive director Pat Stebbins and board chair Lisa Whitney with a check intended to help clients of the nonprofits outreach to the homeless.

A third donation in the form of a check was presented to Veterans Stronger Community Center to assist veterans with their needs.

All TBE readers, supporters and donors                

The Bristol Edition will be limiting the number of stories non-members and free readers may access each week. This decision is based on our financial projections and, most certainly, to remind people that TBE is serious about providing accurate, timely and thorough reporting for Bristol. To do this we have devised a financial support structure that makes unlimited access extremely affordable, beginning with a $6 monthly donation.                

  • Non-members will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Free readers and people who have subscribed by email will be able to access four (4) articles per week.                
  • Donors and financial supporters will have unlimited access as long as they log in.                

Note: Donors may have to contact TBE if they find they are being limited, since we will need to set up a membership account for you. Email editor@bristoledition.org for instructions. Sorry for any inconvenience. People with financial difficulties may write editor@bristoledition.org to be considered for free access.
