You are invited to attend a public roast turkey supper from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, June 30, in the vestry of Frankfort Congregational Church on Main Road in that community.

Admission is $7 for adults, $3.50 for children under 12, and free for preschoolers.

After the supper, reports Alice Redmond, the Beecher Boy’s ‘N Girls Hillbilly Band & Cloggers will perform at 7:30 p.m. at the church. Admission is $6 for adults and $3 for children.

However, Redmond wrote, “there is a special pricing for people attending the supper and show of $12 per adult and $5 per child. This is a great bargain!”

The concert “is family style,” Redmond wrote, “and audience participation is encouraged. They love to have the crowd clap and sing along.”

More information about this highly entertaining group led by Ben Dresser can be obtained by calling him at 827-8539 or visiting www.Hillbillyband.com.

All proceeds from the show will benefit “the Halos and Hammers mission team” when it comes to Frankfort in July, Redmond said. The mission team includes 80 senior high youths and adults from Southbury, Conn.

Led by the Rev. Meg Watson, who previously served as minister for this church, the team spends a week performing service projects in the Waldo County area.

“They will be painting, installing windows, putting in insulation, remodeling a bathroom [including new fixtures,] making a house safe for its inhabitants, and stacking wood,” Redmond wrote.

“This group supplies many of the materials needed” for those projects, which is why she hopes you will “join the Beecher Boys ‘N Girls … and help the young ministry of Halos and Hammers during their mission week in Waldo County.”

Vicky Blanchette, development manager for OHI, is very pleased to report that Margaritas in Orono has selected OHI “as this summer’s local charity” for its Margarita Full Moon Madness events.

“Every month, on the night of the full moon,” Blanchette explained, “Margaritas throws a big party featuring giveaways, contests and lots of fun.

“Most importantly,” she added, “5 percent of the entire evening’s gross lounge sales are donated to a local charity.”

And, this summer, that charity is OHI.

The first Margaritas Full Moon Madness is from 4 p.m. Saturday, June 30, to 1 a.m. Sunday, July 1, at Margaritas, 15 Mill St. in Orono.

The remaining Margaritas Full Moon Madness events are from 4 to 11 p.m. Sunday, July 29, and 4 to 11 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 28.

OHI is a nonprofit social service agency with headquarters in Hermon that helps people with disabilities to live and work in their own communities.

Carla Bommarito, the 2007 Relay for Life volunteer chairwoman for the American Cancer Society event held in mid-May at the Old Town High School track, wrote to the BDN to publicly thank the “residents of Old Town and surrounding communities for their generosity and support.”

Bommarito reported that 76 teams participated in the event, raising more than $196,000 for the ACS.

“The outstanding support received proves that the people of Maine are truly committed to the fight against cancer,” she wrote.

Bommarito also wrote “to applaud the 98 survivors who participated, in the rain, for the opening lap and survivor reception.”

“They are the reason we continue the fight because, each year, there can be more and more people living wonderful lives following a diagnosis of cancer. They are a true inspiration to us all.”

She also thanks the many Relay for Life volunteers, the event committee, and the corporate sponsors.

Proceeds, Bommarito wrote, help with ACS “research, education, advocacy and service programs.”
