LEWISTON – Judy and Jody McMorrow’s antique appraisals were the highlight of the Literacy Volunteers open house recently. A wide variety of items were submitted for evaluation, from a Charley McCarthy radio, to glassware and rare books, to an oil painting.

This was the first of several events that will be held over the course of the year to celebrate LV-Androscoggin’s 30th anniversary. Upcoming is the Letters for Literacy Scrabble Fest from 12:30 to 3:30 p.m. Saturday, April 24, at the Hilton Garden Inn in Auburn. It will offer a full afternoon of fun and fund-raising. Call to register at 753-1772 by Friday, April 23.

There is a need for caring, patient individuals to become Literacy Volunteers tutors. The next tutor training will be held from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Saturdays, May 1 and 8, with a two-hour follow-up session in June. For information call 753-1772.
