SeDoMocha Builders Club Miracle Tree to benefit needy

DOVER-FOXCROFT — The Builders Club at SeDoMoCha Middle School has organized a Miracle Tree event for Saturday, Nov. 7 and Sunday, Nov. 8 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Pat’s Pizza banquet rooms.

This will be an open house style event on Nov. 7-8. Individuals can purchase raffle tickets — at different prices depending on the number purchased — for the tree or trees of their choice. If their ticket is chosen, the ticket holder will walk away with a beautifully decorated tree, as well as all of the goodies on and underneath the tree. Ticket purchasers do not need to be present to win, and the drawings will be held at the closing on Sunday.

This event has been created to raise money for Piscataquis County charities. The winter months can be tough on many Maine families, and all proceeds from the Miracle Tree benefit the Backpack Fund in Guilford and Dover-Foxcroft, as well as helping to feed families in Piscataquis County during the holiday season. Organizers thank the Anah Temple Shriners for the inspiration of this event, as it is similar to their annual Festival of Trees.
