DEAR SUN SPOTS: Once again, we are looking for sponsors and golfers to support swimmer scholarships in memory of Chris Branch, a lifelong swimmer, swim coach and swim official. Chris was well-known in Lewiston-Auburn as Director of Public Works for Lewiston, as well as a YMCA swim coach for about 20 years. 

This year’s tournament will be held at Toddy Brook Golf Course in North Yarmouth on Monday, Aug. 3. For more information and to register, go to https://birdease.com/ChristopherBranch or call me at 713-7225. — Rick, no town 

ANSWER: It’s wonderful that you do this every year and that so many folks enjoy participating. I’m sure you’ll have another successful day! 

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I’d like to remind members of the Lewiston High School class of 1961 that we are celebrating our 65-year reunion at Schooner Estates in Auburn on June 22. 

Invitations have gone out, and this is a reminder that if you plan to attend, we would like to hear from you before June 12. Please contact Bill Libby at [email protected], or at 620-6431. Please disregard this notice if you’re all set to attend. — Marc, Lewiston

ANSWER: That date is coming right up so be sure to RSVP if you haven’t yet and have fun!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: We would like to donate by check every month to Kayden’s Kitchen Food Pantry in Lewiston. We are having a hard time with this and one check was already returned. We do not want to use our credit card. Any help you can give us would be appreciated. Thanks for all you do for all of us. — No name, no town

ANSWER: Contact the organization at 504-4764 and speak with Linda Scott, administration director, if you have any questions or need further information. You can write a check to KK Shelter Corp. and mail it to 70 Horton St., Lewiston, ME, 04240. And thank you!

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for the wonderful column you write for the Sun Journal. I am writing this letter for a dear friend who needs her scissors sharpened by a professional. She knits socks for veterans, knits mittens and hats for children, and dresses dolls in crocheted antebellum gowns. 

Even though we live in Augusta, we are willing to drive to Lewiston-Auburn area for this service. Your assistance in finding such a business will be appreciated. — Diana, Augusta

ANSWER: Your friend sounds very busy! And you are wonderful to write this request for her. 

You can go to Mathieu Saw & Tool at 7 Enterprise St. in Lewiston. The technicians there can sharpen anything from biscuit cutters to ice augers and can certainly take care of sharpening scissors. You can drop off our items or ship them. The business is open Monday through Thursday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. 

You can get all the information about their service here: https://mathieusaw.com/ or you can call 783-9087 or email [email protected].
