Raising Forks And Knives For The United Way

A full house of pasta lovers jammed into the Maples restaurant in Sharbot Lake for the annual United Way Spaghetti dinner fundraiser. The event, which is a collaboration between The Maples restaurant and Northern Frontenac Community Services, included a three course meal of Caesar salad, spaghetti and a wide selection of home-made desserts. Funds raised at help the local community by supporting two departments at NFCS that receive support from the United Way - the family counseling and the organization's youth services. Don Amos, who was one of the many NFCS staff serving at the dinner, said the event is a great opportunity for NFCS and the community at large to give back to the United Way. He said it gets great support from the local community and thanked the owners of The Maples, who put on the event year after year and the members of the community who so loyally come out to show their support for the United Way.
