DEAR SUN SPOTS: Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends Christmas Meowy Miracles Bake Sale and Bottle Drive will take place Dec. 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in front of Family Dollar at 11 Middle Road in Sabattus.
We are looking for bakers and baked goods for this fundraiser. Join us in helping make this Christmas event a memorable one for Tommy’s babies. If interested in baking, please e-mail normblais39@yahoo.com. No cupcakes please and all baked goods must be wrapped and labeled.
Your baked goods, as well as your contributions of bottles and cans, and monetary donations will go a long way toward helping us continue to support the forgotten feral cats with food, warmth, veterinarian care, including spaying and neutering, hay, protective habitats, and so much more.
Especially at this time of year, our friend Rose, who carries on our mission with Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends, can use all the help she can get. Since the passing of her partner, Norm, two years ago, Rose has been taking care of 18 colonies of cats, primarily by herself.
With your help and support, we can continue this crucial mission. Donations can be sent to Tommy’s Feral Feline Friends, P.O. Box 274, Greene, ME 04236 or at PayPal https://tommysferalfelinefriends.com. For more information, please contact Tommy’s team at the above email address. Your generosity is greatly appreciated. — John and Melanie, no town
ANSWER: I miss hearing from my friend, Norm, and am grateful that Rose and her team of volunteers continue his legacy. Please make time to bake something special for this fundraising event, bring all your bottles and cans, and contribute funds to help Rose as she strives to care for her kitties.
DEAR SUN SPOTS: Thank you for all the publicity you provided for our pastry sale. It was very successful and we had several new customers who said they learned of the sale through Sun Spots.
Best wishes for Christmas and the New Year. — Christine, no town
ANSWER: I am always so happy to help all our local nonprofits get the word out. You ladies are the best for providing us all with delicious, unique goodies. We can taste the love that goes into them!
