DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have been a big fan of Lewiston’s Youth Advisory Council since its beginning. These teens have school, homework, sports, jobs and other activities, yet they make LYAC a priority to give back to our city with positive events while they learn how the city works. Would your readers consider sending them a valentine or a thank-you note? They were thrilled with the valentines and little notes that they received in the past. We need to let them know we appreciate what they do for us in hopes they will return to us after they finish their education. Cards can be sent to LYAC at city hall, 27 Pine St. in Lewiston. — Jeanne Raymond, Lewiston.

ANSWER: With the mission of serving as an “advisory council to the Lewiston City Council in regard to community issues affecting youth” and working “toward goals that empower all of the community’s youth and to undertake service projects that enhance the community,” the Lewiston Youth Advisory Council was established by the Lewiston City Council in 2001. Since then, members have worked closely with municipal staff, state and local officials, and members of the community on various initiatives for the City of Lewiston. You can see some of their work at www.lewistonmaine.gov/lyac. To contact the Lewiston Youth Advisory Council, call 207-513-000, ext. 3205.
