Thank you, Ms. Sunspots, for helping to ensure that concertgoers get there on the correct dates. — Connie, marketing co-chairwoman, Maine Music Society

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Woman’s Literary Union Prom Gown Giveaway will happen Saturday, April 13, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. We’re in need of a seamstress on that day to help girls get their dresses fitted. We will need you to bring your sewing machine for doing quick alterations. If you can help, please call me at 402-7591.

We’re always accepting dresses and especially need larger sizes. You can drop the dresses off at Day’s Jewelers at Center Street in Auburn (784-6766), at the Franco Center at 46 Cedar St. in Lewiston (783-1585), or at Maine Gourmet Chocolates at 168 Main St. in Auburn (783-8472). — Kathy, no town

ANSWER: The WLU Prom Gown Giveaway is a great event and I want to thank all the members who work so hard to make it happen and all the people who donate gowns.

If you’re dropping off gowns at the businesses listed above, be sure to call first to check on open hours.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: My elderly mom has a Lane rocker-recliner (not power) that still looks brand new.  However, after 20 years, the mechanism under the chair has broken down and it doesn’t rock or swivel as it should. We are looking for someone who can replace or repair the mechanism. I would appreciate recommendations from your readers.

ANSWER: I believe the Chair Doctor, John Leavitt, in Turner can help you. Give him a call and see what he can do: 225-2293.

If anyone else has recommendations, let us know!
