Stephen King to the rescue

From the Kennebec (Maine) Journal:

AUGUSTA -- Author Stephen King will be in Augusta Monday at a spaghetti dinner to raise money for the victims of Hurricane Katrina (that bitch...Carnacki), according to an announcement made today. The community dinner, organized by Gov. John Baldacci and the American Red Cross Chapters of Maine, will be held from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at the Augusta Armory, 179 Western Ave. The suggested donation is $5. "It's a way for the larger community of citizens to do what they can do and come together in a public event, and give an opportunity for the American Red Cross to go through and make a presentation about their resources and their needs," Baldacci said.

Horror writers united! King will give a speech to the dinner guests. Five bucks is a hell of a bargain for Stephen King AND spaghetti. Give more. Call 1-800-452-8735 to donate money, auction items or services or to RSVP for the dinner.
