ELMIRA, N.Y. (WETM) — You might be able to help an Elmira charity if you’re willing to part with a Christmas tree growing on your property.
The Arctic League is looking for a Christmas tree for its annual telethon. The tree will adorn Mandeville Hall’s stage at the Clemens Center during the charity’s broadcast on Sunday, Dec. 1, and be decorated with ornaments donated by the former Christmas House store. The person or organization that donated the tree will be recognized during the telethon.
