Bob Gregoire

Tomorrow evening (Friday, 2/27), there is a benefit basketball game between the St. Michael Saints faculty/staff/friends and local law enforcement. The game starts at 6 and is only $5 to get in and $20 for a family. It's at St. Michael School on Sewall Street in Augusta.

In September of last year, Augusta Police Chief, Robert Gregoire, was on a benefit motorcycle ride with his wife, Cathy. They were raising money for the Shriner's Children's Hospitals.

Augusta Police Chief, Bob Gregoire, along with his wife, Cathy and Augusta Police Sargent Chris Shaw, were using their day off to help raise money for the Shriners Hospitals for Children. That afternoon, on the way back to Turner, where riders were to gather, the two officers' motorcycles crashed in Jay. Shaw was alone and Gregoire was riding with his wife.

As I got on to Memorial Circle yesterday I saw a man holding a sign. Not unusual at all. What WAS out of the ordinary, however, is this sign wasn't looking for a handout of money. Instead, it encouraged people to give to the Salvation Army and local food banks!
