Members of a fundraising committee at St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Bangor invite you to attend a benefit spaghetti supper from 5 to 6:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 4, at St. Mary’s Parish Center at All Saints School on Ohio Street in Bangor.
The event is to assist Mary Leblanc, who “was diagnosed with breast cancer in May of this year,” wrote Lauri Jacobs of the woman whose illness has resulted in her incurring “extraordinary medical expenses.”
Someone who “has dedicated her life to the teaching of children,” Jacobs wrote, Leblanc “has been part of the Bangor community” for more than 15 years.
“We, as the direct beneficiaries of her devotion to children, are trying to help defer some of her expenses.”
The benefit also includes a silent auction featuring a Maine tourmaline stone and setting from Quality Jewelers, brunch at the Lucerne Inn, a massage and an antique sewing machine.
In addition, a live auction at 6 p.m. will feature “delicious pies,” Jacobs wrote.
The suggested donation for the fundraiser is $5 for adults, $3 for children 5 and older and free for those younger than 5.
The public is welcome to attend.
