Benefit Suppah Planned
May 2011, Megan Ferland graduated from the University of Maine at Farmington.
Shortly after, Megan suffered a fever, headache and unusual confusion and was taken to the hospital. Soon after, Megan’s symptoms
included seizures and she was life-flighted to Boston. Within a few hours of arriving at Mass General Hospital, Paul and Sherry
Ferland learned that their daughter was showing symptoms of a very rare disorder, Paraneoplastic Syndrome - which has claimed less than 500 previously recorded cases worldwide. Doctor’s are now optimistic about Megan’s recovery; however, it will be a lengthy one and will continue after she returns home.
September 1, the Winthrop Rotary Club along with dozens of members of the community will host a "spaghetti suppah" to help ease the tremendous burden on this local family.
Spaghetti feed 430-730PM, September 1 at St Francis Parish Hall, Rt 133 in Winthrop.(Adults $7, children & seniors $5, families $20) There will also be a Benefit Raffle of donated goods and a Home-made pie & cake sale.

Rotary, PO Box 453, Winthrop, ME 04364. Those wishing to volunteer of make product donations for the raffle should please
