Benefit supper planned
There will be a benefit supper and auction for Dustin McCrum on Saturday, Jan. 12, at Central Aroostook High School at 6 p.m. Dustin was recently diagnosed with Marfan’s Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder. Because of this, he underwent emergency open heart surgery on Nov. 29. He will be out of work for quite a while, so funds will be used to help the family with travel and other expenses.
