Sun Spots: In answer to Bob Nixon’s request for clothes for children in Iraq (Sun Spots April 19): I want to say that the Dominican Sisters at 61 Lisbon Road in Sabattus will gladly donate whatever he wishes to pick up during their bazaar days April 30 and May 1. All he has to do when he comes is ask for Lucille or call her at (207) 375-8399. – Sister Lucille Fournier, Sabattus.
Dear Sun Spots: I hope your readers can help me out as they have a few times before.
I am in need of a baby-changing table but because of limited funds cannot afford a new one. I’ve been checking the classifieds and other places but have found nothing.
I hope someone out there has one they no longer want or need and would be willing to part with it for a moderate price. As long as it is structurally sound, then cosmetically it does not have to be perfect. I have severe arthritis in my spine and finding a table will be a godsend. Thank you. I can be reached at (207) 777-6242. – No Name, No Town.
Dear Sun Spots: I am looking for a knitted cardigan, youth sweater sizes 2 to 8 with the pattern of Cookie Monster, Big Bird or Elmo in it.
A lady had made me one a few years back but I am unable to locate her. If someone has one I can be reached at (207) 783-9519. Thanks. – Sue in Lewiston.
Dear Sun Spots: I have a gift certificate for Final Harvest. They are out of business and now nobody seems to know anything. Where can I get a refund? – No Name, Lewiston.
