Geneviève Tailleux, proprietor of Marketplace Café in Wiscasset, is doing a series of benefit dinners for Alna's John Seigars, whose house burned down recently. Tailleux said she has done one dinner already and this Saturday, Nov. 16, there will be a bake sale and, for $15, a spaghetti supper with meatballs, garlic bread, salad and desserts. Coffee, tea, or lemonade is included.

Tailleux said while the price is $15, "guests are welcome to donate more for the cause." And she said another dinner is Dec. 6, with chili and chowders, breads, etc. and the same drinks.
