The Salon Departemental de Maine Salon ME 245 held a Christmas banquet at the Chick-A-Dee Restaurant in Lewiston recently. The group was small because of sickness and death. The group recently lost a member, Pearl Sirois. She was the children and youth chairwoman. A moment of silence was held in her memory.
