Following its annual meeting, the board of directors of Area Interfaith Outreach in Rockland will prepare and serve a dinner at Nativity Lutheran Church, 174 Old County Road, Rockport, for the many volunteers who have served the clientele of the food pantry in 2012. After dinner, the program will recognize the essential work of the AIO volunteers and feature Steve Rowe, a former Maine attorney general and state legislator. Public is welcome, but space is limited and reservations are necessary. Call Sherry Cobb, 785-2086 or email sherrykc@tidewater.net by Oct. 15.
