Benefit scheduled
A benefit dinner and silent auction will be held on Saturday, Nov. 5 for Gil and Amanda Nkamwesiga and their baby Andrew. Andrew is a bit over two months old and just had a heart transplant in Boston. He is doing well, but will be at the hospital for awhile longer.
The dinner/auction will run from 4:30-7 p.m. at Central Aroostook High School and will consist of baked beans, pulled pork, potato salad, rolls, drinks and cookies.
The theme for the event is Superhero, which Andrew has been since his birth. The Lord has certainly blessed him!
