DEAR SUN SPOTS: Would you please help us get the word out that Danville Junction Grange in Auburn will be holding its monthly bingo games beginning Saturday, Dec. 7, at 6 p.m. and continuing on the first Saturday of each month after that. These events are packed full of good food, lots of laughter, and great fellowship, so please put Dec. 7 on your calendar and plan to join us.

Our Grange will continue  this fall with the monthly sale of delicious homemade chicken pies to raise funds for repairs to our hall. Pies must be ordered ahead by calling Maynard Chapman at 312-5591.

We thank both you, Ms. Sun Spots, and all of our loyal followers for all the support that you have continually given us for so many years. We would not have survived without all of you! — Glenys, Danville

ANSWER: Granges are an important part of Maine history, and upkeep is expensive. We hope you continue to receive community support.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Androscoggin Historical Society, with multiple other county historical societies, will host a grand yard sale Saturday, Oct. 5, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the West Auburn Schoolhouse, 740 West Auburn Road, Auburn, rain or shine.

This sale will be filled with treasures, old and new, and is a great opportunity to do some early holiday shopping and support some wonderful community volunteers. The one-room schoolhouse venue, with its warm stove going, adds historical relevance and charm.

ANSWER: We hope someone takes Dr. Plummer up on his generous offer! Visual learning is indeed important.
