DEAR SUN SPOTS: We would really appreciate your help with getting the word out about our upcoming Letters for Literacy Scrabble Fest.

Scrabble fans are invited to help raise money for Literacy Volunteers by playing their favorite board game. Join us April 28 at the High Street Congregational Church, 106 Pleasant St. in Auburn for an enjoyable afternoon of refreshments, prizes, and good natured Scrabble competition.

Arrive at 1 p.m. to sign in. Play begins at 1:30. The Scrabble Fest ends at 4:30 p.m. Preregistration is required by April 26.

This is Scrabble with a twist, as the competition features teams of two to four players collaborating over the same letter tray to try and outscore another multiperson 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 Division.

Players collect pledges to benefit adult literacy services in Androscoggin County, and the top fundraisers have a wonderful array of prizes to choose from.

All proceeds raised by players are used to provide critically needed literacy services for adults in our community. For more information, call 753-6658, email scrabble@literacyvolunteersandro.org, or go to the website:www.literacyvolunteersandro.org. – Tahlia, no town

ANSWER: I’m so glad this fun event has returned. It’s such a great idea!
