The nonprofit Community Plate is holding its first annual Pi(e) Day Celebration and Fundraiser at the Smith Center at Wolfe’s Neck Center in Freeport on March 14 — the date corresponding to the first three digits of the mathematical constant.

The potluck fundraiser will, like Community Plate’s usual statewide events, feature stories about food told by any eventgoers who’d like to tell them. For this evening, they will be centered on pie.

There will also be a potluck dinner and a sale of pies, at silent and live auctions, baked by some celebrated Maine cooks and bakers (among them, Ilma Lopez of Chaval and Ugly Duckling, Kate Shaffer of Ragged Coast Chocolates and Sam Hayward, chef emeritus at Fore Street restaurant).

“Whether you’re an enthusiastic mathematician, a precise baker, or just someone who loves a good pie, come celebrate the mathematical magic of 3.14159, and support the work of Community Plate,” the nonprofit said in a press release.

If you can’t make the fundraiser but still want to properly celebrate Pi Day, stop by either Portland location of Two Fat Cats Bakery on March 14 for some blueberry pie with the pi symbol baked right into the crust. Pi pies — we like the way that sounds — are available as whole pies and hand pies (or enjoy a slice of several kinds of pie with no pi symbol). The bakeries are at 195 Lancaster St. and 175 Spring St.
