ANSWER: Here’s to a great fundraiser!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Last January, a letter was submitted to Sun Spots by Fairbanks Union Church requesting Christmas items that people were no longer using and wanted to give to a good cause.

We had an overwhelming response from people from Sun Spots Land! Because of the wonderful donations, the church, located at 583 Fairbanks Road in Farmington will again be offering the Christmas Decorations Sale. The event will be held Saturday, Nov. 16, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

There will be three rooms full of all Christmas items. And again this year there will be a table of new and gently used items for gifting. We will gladly accept more donations. For more information, call Celia at 778-2420 or Cindy at 491-4017. — Cindy, Farmington
