DEAR SUN SPOTS: We know folks in Sun Spots Land love animals and hope we can find some volunteers who could have a flexible schedule. If you like being outside and working with your hands, are ready to give back and feel that you are making a difference, then the Greater Androscoggin Humane Society wants to talk with you.

While our mission is to provide humane care for needy animals, promote adoption and help improve the lives of pets, we also have a large building, vehicles and grounds that need to be maintained.

We are recruiting volunteers and/or a part-time staff position to help us keep our property in good repair and looking good. The main focus is on groundskeeping, mowing, dog park cleanup, maintenance, basic vehicle maintenance, snowblowing, and handy-person tasks.

This is an opportunity to be outside in the fresh air, keep active and be involved with a great cause. If interested, please contact Ken Schlichting at ken@gahumane.org. — Katie, executive cirector of GAHS, Lewiston

ANSWER: I hope you find just the right people to help you. If you’re interested, check out the video at https://gahumane.org/get-involved/volunteer/.

If you don’t have the time to volunteer, perhaps you would consider donating money to the shelter or making a purchase for the organization from its Amazon Wish List: https://tinyurl.com/mpcsuvmf

DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Lewiston Senior Center would like to remind Sun Spots readers that we host mah-jongg games on Wednesdays from 10 a.m. until noon. The American and Chinese versions are played.

Beginners are welcome and we have experienced teachers to introduce the game to new players. — Joe and Pat, Auburn

ANSWER: Mah-jongg is a game of skill played with tiles that has been around for over 100 years. If you want to learn it from scratch, buff up your skills or are an expert, here’s a chance to take part and make new friends.

The games are held at the Lewiston Armory at 65 Central Ave. To see a full list of activities for seniors, take a look here: https://www.lewistonmaine.gov/222/Programs-Activities, or contact Program Coordinator Stephanie Cote at 513-3059, or send an email to scote@lewistonmaine.gov.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Could you please tell me if the Kiwanis Club is going to have a pancake breakfast this year? — No name, Minot

ANSWER: I reached out to the Kiwanis Club of Lewiston-Auburn and because of the number of members, they aren’t able to hold the breakfast which at one time was an annual event. They didn’t know of any breakfasts taking place in Maine this year.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Where is the Sun Journal office located? The old offices at Park and Pine streets are no longer there. — No name, Lewiston

ANSWER: The SJ office moved nearby to the second floor of 64 Lisbon St. in December 2022. The space, which was renovated about a decade ago, was originally built in 1911 to house the S.S. Kresge five-and-dime store.

The Sun Journal, along with all publications in the Sun Media Group and others, are printed in South Portland.
