DEAR SUN SPOTS: I was the former principal of Frye and Longley schools before retiring. I would like to find my old school staff members so we can plan a get-together. Please contact me at sahibscrib@Icloud.com. –Scrib, Lewiston

ANSWER: This sounds like fun! Readers, please spread the word!

Dear Sun Spots: The Lewiston School Nutrition Program is participating in the Summer Food Service Program. Meals are at NO CHARGE to children attending school up to 18 years old. Meals are the same for all children regardless of race, color, national origin, sex, age or disability, and there will be no discrimination during the meal service. All meals must be eaten on the site, as participants are not allowed to remove food from the site location, parks or playgrounds.

Meals will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis at the following sites: Monday through Friday at Hillview at 77 Rideout Ave., Pleasant View Acres at 50 Fairmount St, McMahon Elementary at 151 N. Temple St., and at The Root Cellar at 89 Birch St.

On Monday through Thursday they will be offered at Farwell Elementary  at 84-110 Farwell St., Lewiston High School at 156 East Ave., Montello Elementary at 407 East Ave., Lewiston Middle School at 75 Central Ave., and Connors Elementary at 400 Bartlett St.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have a sofa, chair, and ottoman to give away. Everything is in good condition, has no stains, and has been in a pet-free home. Goodwill and Salvation Army are not taking furniture at this time.  I reached out to Maine Immigration Services and Habitat Restore but haven’t heard back from them.  Does anyone have any suggestions? –Cathy in Lewiston

ANSWER: Have you tried a local church or children’s center? They may have a need for the furniture or perhaps they know of a family who could use it.

Catholic Charities in Portland may also be able to help you place the furniture with a family. Contact them at 781-8550 or info@CCMaine.
