DEAR SUN SPOTS: We would really appreciate your help with getting the word out about our upcoming Letters for Literacy Scrabble Fest. After a two-year hiatus caused by the pandemic, we are excited to return to this annual event.
Scrabble fans are invited to help raise money for Literacy Volunteers by playing their favorite board game. This is Scrabble with an unusual twist, as the competition features teams of two to four players collaborating over the same letter tray to try and out-score another multi-person team.
Participants can either form a team or register as an individual and be matched with a team that needs a player. Those who are serious about their Scrabble skills are encouraged to register in the Pro division, while more relaxed players should choose the social category. Players collect pledges to benefit adult literacy services in Androscoggin County, and the top fundraisers have a wonderful array of prizes to choose from.
To protect everyone’s health, we will be requiring players to provide proof of vaccination for COVID-19 or have a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 72 hours prior to the event. Masks will be optional.
We hope you will join your fellow wordsmiths on April 24 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. at the High Street Congregational Church at 106 Pleasant St. in Auburn for an enjoyable afternoon of refreshments, prizes and good natured Scrabble competition. Registration is required by April 20.
For more information, call 753-6658 or email scrabble@literacyvolunteersandro.org or go to our website:www.literacyvolunteersandro.org. — No name, Auburn

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Anglican of the Transfiguration is planning a perennial plant sale on May 14 from 9 a.m. to noon.
In searching our garages and potting sheds, we realized we don’t have enough medium and large pots to fill for separation before the sale. We are willing to accept these size pots at the church at 64 Elm St. in Mechanic Falls. The pots can be left outdoors in the driveway anytime and we will take care of them.
Thank you, Sun Spots for all you do to help get the word out for non-profits who need your help. We are hoping to get our healthy perennials separated so we can have a successful fundraiser. — Nancy, Mechanic Falls
ANSWER: Good luck and happy planting!
DEAR SUN SPOTS: I can’t believe no one has given you the correct answer yet for Wendy’s previous tenant. I’m positive it was Panda Express. — Carmen, no town
