Pat Robinson sent in this update on the soup and bread supper held at Spring Hill Restaurant to raise money to help South Berwick residents stay warm this winter. Thanks to Pat for being the guiding force behind this effort.
South Berwick will be able to keep those in need warm this winter because of the $5800.00 raised at the “old school” community soup and bread supper held at Spring Hill Restaurant and Banquet Center on Wednesday October 29th. Those who came waited in long lines for soup, raffle tickets and the bake sale while chatting with neighbors and old and new friends.
