Two young waitresses helped a man they had never met before.

junction bowl in Gorham is this really neat restaurant with bowling, arcade, bar and great food. They call it Junction Bowl because it’s “where guests become family.” This was proven as fact on Easter Sunday.

Danika reached out because of what she witnessed while working at the Junction Bowl. Two young stewardesses (Tasha & Brooke) were working Saturday night. Tasha got a call from someone trying to find a restaurant that delivers food on Easter. This person had a friend who would be alone on Easter since his wife and son had passed away. Tasha told the caller that Junction Bowl is closed on Easter so their employees can spend the day with their families.

But Tasha couldn’t let that go. She asked the caller for the man’s address and promised that even though the restaurant was closed she would make sure the man had an Easter dinner.

Tasha and Brooke explained the situation to their parents and asked if they could share their Easter dinner. They threw a nice Easter party and spent time with this older gentleman so he wouldn’t be alone on this holiday. Not many young people would do that, especially for a complete stranger. Danika shared this story because she wanted Tasha and Brooke to be recognized for this selfless act of kindness.

Tasha and Brooke want to encourage anyone in a situation to make someone’s day better – DO IT! Here’s Tasha with Ed, who could turn out to be a lifelong friend.

Thank you Tasha and Brooke for going out of their way to help a complete stranger who was going to be alone for Easter. You could have easily said the restaurant is closed and wished the woman good luck on the phone. But you didn’t… you chose to help. That’s what it means to be a Mainer.
