DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Rev. Louis J. Fortier Knights of Columbus Council 106 is planning a Coats for Kids Benefit from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, April 2, at Holy Cross Church Hall on Baird Street in Lewiston.

People making crafts, Stampin’ Up cards and scrapbooking are welcome to join us.

The event is hosted by Corinne Saindon, Stampin’ Up demonstrator. The cost is $35 per person.

Bring your own lunch. There will be snacks, coffee and water, two free “Make and Takes” and a thank you gift.

To reserve your spot, make out checks out to “K of C 106 Stamping” and mail to P.O. Box 1622, Lewiston, ME 04241-1622. For more information, call Leo Baillargeon 207-577-7424 or Corinne Saindon at 207-784-5307.

ANSWER: I used to do quite a bit of scrapbooking and collage, and it is always more fun to do this fun activity along with others. Sharing supplies and ideas and just being in the company of others after this long isolating time sounds great to me.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I was notified that someone had asked Sun Spots about my healing cassette tape. “Healing in The Light” has been made into a CD and is still available. I live in Tuskahoma, Oklahoma, now, but lived in Lewiston-Auburn most of my adult life.

For those interested, my new book is also out now. It is titled “Journey of the Star Children Through Time.”

I can be reached on Facebook at Sonja A Christiansen or through email at infocussonja@yahoo.com.–Sonja, Tuskahoma, OK

ANSWER: The Sun Spots network never ceases to amaze me. Readers often work behind the scenes to help others get their questions answered and to locate all kinds of things. It is so rewarding to be part of it all. Thank you to whoever passed this request from the March 2 Sun Spots on to Sonja.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Regarding the question in the March 11 Sun Spots about using a Kindle Fire to read the Sun Journal, there is no longer a sun-journal app for Kindle. I just type sunjournal.com into my web browser on my Kindle then choose the link for that day’s e-Edition. Choose the edition you want and presto, it is there.

If you have not logged in this way before, you might have to log in as you did first time you use this method, but the cookies should stay in your browser and you should not have to log in again.–Judy, no town

ANSWER: That is a good explanation, Judy. Thank you for helping our reader.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Like the reader who wrote in about the lack of lighting on the Veterans Memorial Bridge, I also have the same concern. Can anything be done?—Lorraine, Lewiston

ANSWER: I spoke with Dan Rodrigue, electrical superintendent for the city, and was told that LED lighting for the ramp should be installed soon. I also have a call in to the Maine Department of Transportation regarding lighting for the bridge, so I’ll get back to readers as soon as I have an answer for you all.

Remember, never be shy about contacting your municipality if you have a concern of any kind.
