DEAR SUN SPOTS: As fall rolls in and winter takes over, the coming months are filled with plenty of family, joy and excitement as we head into the giving season, and Bolster Heights is no different. We always receive generous support from the community to ensure that our residents have a wonderful holiday. Each year that we have been able to do this, it truly has made the difference in their holiday season. I’m sure we all can recall a Christmas season less jolly, and your donations bring much joy to their lives. If you would be willing to donate to our Christmas celebration this year, please feel free to contact me at (207) 784-1364. — Stacey Ganon, activities director, 26 Bolster St., Auburn 

ANSWER: The holidays can be a difficult time for people who are away from family, especially for those who are widowed or unwell. I hope you get a good response from our readers.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: First of all, thank you for everything you do! Just wondering if you have any screen repair businesses in your Rolodex? Thank you! — Cindy, no town

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’m looking for a house cleaner in the Auburn-Turner area. We live about 5 minutes from the Auburn Mall. Didn’t know if you had anyone in your Rolodex. Love reading Sun Spots! — Bonnie, Auburn
ANSWER: K’s Homekeeping can help. It offers moving, one-time, and recurring cleans. According to its promotional material, it has a “perfect 5” rating on Google. All cleaning supplies are provided, and it’s fully insured. It offers discounts for first-time customers. According to one review, “K’s Homekeeping saved the day! I had a last-minute cancellation for a move out clean and she showed up for a same day request and left the place sparkling. Kind, friendly, and a job well done. I got my security deposit back!” K’s contact information is (207) 440-7568; kshomekeeping@gmail.com.
We tried to contact several other services, but did not get a response. Readers, if you know of any others in the area, please write in!
