DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Woman’s Literary Union is looking for volunteers who like to sew or knit to help us in making doll clothes for the tea we hold in the spring for little girls and their dolls, along with moms, grams, aunts, sisters and friends.

As well as dressing and acting like “little ladies,” having refreshments and being entertained by Alice in Wonderland, the girls have a chance to buy clothes, quilts and accessories for their dolls. We also have an American Girl 18-inch doll to raffle.

This year we are in need of a little help. We are having sewing sessions at the WLU clubhouse at 19 Elm St. in Auburn, on March 17 and 31 and April 14 and 28, starting at 10 a.m. At these sessions we have lots of fabric and patterns for you to choose from.

This year’s tea will be held on May 5 and 6, and reservation forms may be downloaded from our website: www.womansliteraryunion.org. For more information you may email us at [email protected] or call me at 783-9485.

Thank you, Sun Spots, for all you do for the readership of the Sun Journal. — Cathy Westleigh, Lewiston

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I need a favor from you which is very important to me.

Because I don’t have a computer or home phone, I am unable to contact a TV program called Dr. Oz on Channel 13 at WCTN TV. His program is shown in New York.

His programs are so fascinating and informative and I would like very much to contact him for more information. He tells viewers to contact him on Facebook, which I cannot do nor call him. — Connie, Rumford

ANSWER: Sun Spots came up with a couple of mailing addresses online, but she’s not confident about their accuracy or if your letter will reach Dr. Oz.

* New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia Milstein Hospital, Bldg. Room 7 GN 435, 177 Fort Washington Ave., New York, NY 10032

* NBC Studios, 30 Rockefeller Plaza, 49th Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues, New York, NY 10112

Traditional letters are rapidly declining as a way to contact celebrities. Just last week Sun Spots came across a celebrity website that included a statement saying that no letters or phone calls would be accepted.

Security is part of the problem. Famous people are afraid that a disturbed fan will stuff anthrax or some other poisonous or unpleasant substance in the envelope, so they refuse letters or throw them away. Even if Dr. Oz gets your letter, you may not get an answer.

Sun Spots realizes that this is very frustrating to her readers who lack computers (not to mention adding to the U.S. Postal Service’s woes), but she doesn’t see the trend reversing. If you can get to your public library, there will be staff on hand to assist you in navigating the Internet. You, too, can be on Facebook!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I enjoy reading Sun Spots six days and all the information given most of the time. I would like information on two questions.

The first one is Our Parish of the Holy Savior School is celebrating 100 years in 2012.

Father LaFlamme chose three educated young ladies to teach in the new parochial school. They were my dear mother, Blanche Deroy, her sister Yvonne Deroy and Ann LaPierre. My mother married William Dupill and her sister married Willie Hermanne, but I don’t know Ann’s married name, if she had one.

My second question is in years past some big bands came to the Armory in Rumford. One I know to be Tony Bennett. Do other people remember big bands performing here in Rumford? — Henry Dupill, Rumford, 369-9542
