LEWISTON – The Androscoggin County Multiple Sclerosis Walk Committee has announced it is nearing time for the Manpower Multiple Sclerosis Walk, to be held Saturday, April 8.
Registration will begin at 8 a.m. and the walk will start at 9 a.m. at Lewiston High School. It will include raffle items, which have been donated from local merchants; a 50/50 drawing; and cookbooks and other items that will be available to purchase.
