DEAR SUN SPOTS: St. Mary’s Health System in Lewiston is recruiting adult volunteers. Please consider joining the St. Mary’s team of volunteers and have a positive impact on delivering quality patient care every day.

The system needs individuals who like to be around people, enjoy helping others and have a desire to give back to our community.

Opportunities include greeting and providing information to patients and visitors; transporting patients, including some by wheelchair, and helping to deliver patient flowers, complete errands throughout the facility, assisting with patient and resident activities, serving as Eucharistic ministers, delivering mail and assisting with special projects.

By committing a few hours a week, volunteers can have a major impact on patients ad others at St. Mary’s. No background in health care is necessary.

For more information, see www.stmarysmaine.com/support-st-marys/volunteer-opportunities or call Mariah at 207-777-8807.–Mariah, no town

ANSWER: You have some fantastic opportunities there. I hope the positions fill quickly. Let me know if there is anything more Sun Spots can do to help.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I am writing in the hope that Sun Spotters will be willing to donate puzzles to us. I am in senior housing at Oak Park and we love to do puzzles, but we have run out and they are so expensive to buy. For some of us, this is all we have to get out of our apartments and chat with friends. Contact me at 567-2714. Please stay warm, stay safe, and stay strong.—Linda, Lewiston

ANSWER: I hope lots of puzzles come your way! Let us know what happens!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: In response to Arnold in Greenwood, who is looking for a Technics keyboard repair person, I have a Technics keyboard KN 650 in working order that I would be willing to donate to the Locke Mills Union Church.

I played it for 20 years with the C’est Si Bon Band and no longer have need for it. I do not want to sell it.

If Arnold is interested in picking it up in Auburn, he should call me at 207-784-2061 for directions.—No name, Auburn

ANSWER: This is in response to the Jan. 12 Sun Spots. Thank you to this generous reader. I hope Arnold sees this and lets you know if he would like to proceed.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: After much success with my last request, I am writing again for your help.

I am trying to locate any descendants of the Stelmok or Tamasiunas families. I have photographs they might like to have from the early 1900s. Please contact me if you can help at postcardhobby@yahoo.com. No Name, no town

ANSWER: I am so glad Sun Spots was able to help you. Let me know how this goes.
