RAYMOND — At the next Raymond Village Community Church free community dinner, the chefs will be the students of the Katahdin Program, Windham High School’s alternative learning initiative.

As part of their culinary arts and gardening program, the students volunteered to plan and prepare a meal for the event, which will take place Thursday, Oct. 17, from 5-6 p.m. at the Church, 27 Main St.

“We are so excited to have this relationship with the staff and students of the Katahdin Program,” said the Rev. Nancy Foran. “It is a win-win for both parties.”
