DEAR SUN SPOTS: The Knights of Columbus, Council 10019, will sponsor a blood drive Thursday, Aug. 21, at the parish hall of Holy Trinity Church, 67 Frost Hill Ave., Lisbon Falls, from 1-5 p.m.

The blood drive is dedicated to the memory of Jeanine Laplume. Please call 1-800-733- 2767 to make an appointment or go to RedCrossBlood.org and enter HTC to schedule an appointment. Walk-ins are welcome. — Raymond, no town

ANSWER: In case you were unable to attend the last summer blood drive, here is another opportunity. Please spread the word as there is a dire need.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for posting my request regarding a building materials donation (July 29 Sun Spots). Surprisingly, we only received one inquiry for the doorknobs. I thought you may be interested in the outcome.

We are grateful for your recommendation for The Last Sheaf as we were not aware of this organization. I contacted them and Greg responded immediately. On Aug. 5, two young men came to pick up all the items, plus additional pieces we offered them. They were polite and thankful for our donation and presented me with a dozen roses as a thank you. How awesome is that?

They certainly made our day by relieving us of all these items we had no use for and showing their appreciation with flowers! We would certainly recommend them. — Denise, no town

ANSWER: I’m so glad I was able to help, and yes I always want to know what happens, especially when there is a happy ending. I have heard nothing but good things about this organization and I hope all Sun Spotters will support it with either donating, purchasing, or both.

The Last Sheaf Building Materials Exchange is at 102 Lisbon St. and open Wednesday through Friday from noon to 4 p.m., and Saturdays from 8 a.m. to noon. The phone number is 407-4002.

The mission is to benefit low-income homeowners, and to reduce waste in the environment by repurposing surplus building materials, enabling low-income homeowners to better maintain their homes.

Anyone can shop at The Last Sheaf and take advantage of the great prices, but the greatest discounts are reserved for low-income homeowners and those most in need. You can find more information at https://lastsheafbme.org/.

DEAR SUN SPOTS: I just want to follow up with you regarding the letter I wrote to a Sun Spots offering free roll shades June 26 Sun Spots).
