 Shiretown Homecoming Event to Benefit Smart Starts for Students
Penquis Smart Starts for Students will be participating in the Dover-Foxcroft Shiretown Homecoming Parade on August 7.  Parade watchers wishing to contribute to this effort can bring donated school supplies and monetary donations to the parade and deliver them to the Smart Starts for Students bus during the parade or drop them off at the Penquis table located near Shiretown Pizza on East Main Street.  
There will also be lots of delicious baked goods and food items for sale at this table, including a limited supply of Al’s Pizza “People’s Choice” award-winning whoopie pies.  100% of proceeds of this event will benefit the Smart Starts for Students Fund.  For more details about the ways you can help students in the greater Piscataquis area, visit www.penquis.org and select the Smart Starts for Students link or call 564-7116 ask for Sheree.
