The Maine event

Ready to pinch pennies for Soroptimist International of Sonoma Valley are Sandy Curtis, left, and Juliette Andrews, through the group’s annual lobster sale. The club will sell live Maine lobsters at the Sonoma Chamber of Commerce, 651 Broadway, on Saturday, October 20, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The crustaceans will be flown in from Maine that morning. Lobsters weigh about 1.5 pounds, cost $25 each and can be ordered live or cooked. Advance orders are necessary and must be received by October 18.
