Baldacci Brother’s To host Good Neighbor Fuel Fund Spaghetti Dinner Benefit

Are you missing Momma Baldacci’s Italian sauce? If you are, then get ready to belly up for a good cause!

Former Governor John Baldacci and his brother, former Bangor Mayor Joe Baldacci, will hold a benefit spaghetti supper for the Good Neighbor Fuel Fund at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Jay on February 20th, from 4-6pm.

It's to benefit all the recently displaced Androscoggin Mill workers and their families in the area. Last fall, Verso Corporation laid off 300 workers, which is roughly a third of the mill's workforce.

“These are our neighbors. They need us all to pull together and help them and their families. We need to keep public focus on the workers and their families who need help and real leadership,” said Former Bangor Mayor Joe Baldacci in a recent press release.

The Good Neighbor Tri Town Emergency Heating Fund helps assist people living in the towns of Jay, Livermore and Livermore Falls,where most of the former workers live.

Tickets for the Spaghetti Dinner are on sale at Otis Credit Union at $10 for adults and $6 for children.

“It’s a hard time for these workers, and their families,” said Gov. John Baldacci. “Helping those in need is second nature for the people of Maine. Our dinners have become a family tradition, one where we’re proud to help out when and where we can. Maine truly is one big family.”
