No better place in which to live

Dear Editor:

The family of Maddie Lorrain would like to thank everyone who came out to join us on Aug. 30 at the Boothbay Fire House for her benefit dinner.

As we said on the night of the dinner, you hear about how your town rallies around people in their time of need, but you never realize just how much until it happens to you or a member of your family. The people of this region are the best. We can’t possibly thank you enough but we would like to start by thanking the Boothbay Fire Department for the use of their great facility; Alex Arsenault and Dick Spofford for the exciting ride in for Maddie; our wonderful friends, Greg, Lucy and David Barter, and Kim Upham for all of their moral support and hard work putting the dinner together; Aaron Upham (you went above and beyond!) and Sugarloaf for preparing and donating the awesome sauce and pasta (which was absolutely delicious); Stephanie Hawke for manning the door; Tom Dewey for manning the auction; Jenn Strout Lorrain for putting the auction together; the many businesses and organizations that donated great items for the auction; Steve and Sonia Tibbetts for donating lobsters to auction; Stephanie Dewey, Stephanie Hawke, Cathy Latter, Jenny Sledge and Rena Smith who stayed after to help us clean up; and last, but definitely not least, to the many, many people who donated their time, delicious food and money. Thank you all so much

The Lorrain families

Steve, Kristin and Maddie
