Do you enjoy baking? Are fresh apples and delicious peaches calling you? Well, whip up your competitive spirit, whip out those measuring cups, and bake a pie to benefit elders in the Gorham/Westbrook area!
In Home Senior Services and A Perfect Move will be hosting the Inaugural Pie Bake and Auction to benefit the Gorham/Westbrook TRIAD. The TRIAD is a partnership of public safety agencies, community services and senior citizens. The goal of the partnership is to reduce the victimization and enhance the safety of our seniors.
The contest and auction are part of a free luncheon and networking event Friday, September 16 at noontime at 426 Bridge St. in Westbrook. Pies entered in the contest will be judged on best tasting, best looking, People’s Choice, and biggest bidder. If you’re a baker and would consider baking a pie for this wonderful event, contact Kathy or Terri at 207-856-1212 or e-mail them at ihss@inhomeseniorservices.com.
Everyone is invited to attend, enjoy lunch and meeting people, and bid on the many delicious pies that will be offered. You don’t have to be a baker to enjoy this event, just someone who likes pies! (To be honest, I often paid my sons in pies for extra-big chores done around the house. Even now, tasks are defined by pie-worthiness.) Pies make great gifts!
Many thanks to The Gorham Grind, Applebee’s and Hannafords for sponsoring this event. Equal thanks to In Home Senior Services and A Perfect Move for hosting. I’ll be there with my entry. Lemon merangue (worth a coat of paint on the cellar stairs) or mixed berry (trimming the raspberry patch)? Or maybe a nice fresh apple pie, proper payment for doing a good deed.
