DEAR SUN SPOTS: Members of the First Congregational-Christian Church of New Gloucester are preparing for a yearlong celebration of our 250th anniversary in 2015, and we need your help.

Do you have photos of weddings, graduations or other events held at the church from years past that you would be willing to share?

Please email them to history@ngucc.org along with any names, stories or other information you have.

If you cannot email your photos, please call us at 207-926-3260 to make arrangements for us to scan your photos.

We’ll be building a slide show presentation to be shown at our anniversary events. — Jennifer Chase, Jennifer.Chase@sappi.com

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Universalist Church of Greene will be holding its annual yard sale from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. July 18 and from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 19 at the church, located on Route 202.

The majority of our sale items are donated from members of the community, and we would once again ask your readers to consider donating their gently used items.

Please call Heidi at 2025-5181 or Pat or George at 946-5052 to arrange for drop-off or pickup.

Also, if there is any organization or group who would wish to pick up the left over items after the sale, please call one of the numbers above. Thank you in advance. — Trevor Varney thvarney@oxfordnetworks.net

ANSWER: Sun Spots often gets queries from groups looking for someone to take their leftover sale items. She knows of no one who does so. If you do, please let her know.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Calling all collectors of great stuff, crafters and artisans! The United New Auburn Association will be sponsoring a communitywide yard/barter/ swap sale from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, June 21.

Portions of the parking lots at Rolly’s Diner and the New Auburn Social Club will be available for table setup.. There will be no fees charged for a table space, but we will be accepting cash donations for our ongoing drive to Restore the Marshall Popcorn Truck.

So, clean out your garage, attic or basement, and bring your great “stuff” over to our lot! To reserve your space, contact Joe Gray at 207.615.6957 today! — Kathy Shaw, chickfarma@yahoo.com

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Just a note to thank you for getting the Mechanic Falls book sale information into Sun Spots (June 4)!

We received 10-plus telephone calls and more than a truckload of books, many of which we were able to keep for the library and add to the collection.

I am getting emails this morning, and I am sure the library is getting more phone calls. What a wonderful service Sun Spots offers to the community. — Nancy Petersons, nepesons@myfairpoint.net

ANSWER: You’re very generous with your thanks, considering Sun Spots overlooked your email and you had to remind her. She is very glad to hear you had good response. She hopes the sale was a big success.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have several old calendars with beautiful animal pictures, cats and dogs. I am hoping someone can re-purpose them. Free. — Martha, marthamellen@gmail.com, 207-725-2675
