Trinity Baptist Church, 244 South Main Street in Marion, is sponsoring a fund-raising benefit for Kristi Meginness Newsome on Saturday, September 21, 2013 from 3:30pm until 6:30pm. They will be serving a Spaghetti Dinner which will include spaghetti with meat sauce, tossed salad, bread, beverage, and dessert.
The cost of the meal is $10 for adults and $5 for children under age 8. A Silent Auction featuring items donated by local crafters and businesses will be held in conjunction with the benefit dinner.
Newsome suffers from Crohn’s disease and has been hospitalized for much of the past several months for treatment of the effects of her illness. She is unable to work because of the frequency and severity of episodes. Proceeds from the benefit will go toward paying illness-related expenses.
