The Christmas Spirit was alive and well in Dedham Center last Friday night, Nov. 30 as people generously supported the Dedham Junior Woman's Club 1st Annual Dedham Tree Jubilee at the Dedham Square Circle's Holiday Stroll.

Strollers took raffle chances on ten beautifully decorated Christmas Trees and the Jubilee Tree which was filled with over $700 worth of gift certificates and products donated for local merchants.  

The Dedham Community Theater graciously hosted the event in the theater lobby. The Christmas Trees were sponsored by the Grogan and Company, The Dedham Women's Exchange, Robert Mazza LLC, Winbourne Hampe & Sheehan, Nest, Ames Street Auto, Bridge Street Automotove, Gorman & Associates, Unitran Worldwide and Lisa Arsenault of Impressions & Company.  

The Jubilee Trees included gift certificates from Maribu, Dedham House of Pizza, Kouzina Estiatorio, Shaw's Supermarkets, Vintage Thymes, Prime Motors, Cut Stop Hairdressers, Riverside Deli, Mocha Java, Get in Shape for Women, Color Me Up, Dedham Parent Time, and The Blue Bunny.  Gift baskets under the tree were donated by Loretta Chin of Mary Kay Cosmetics, Bessie Doulos of Avon and Bella Baskets.  

All proceeds from the Dedham Tree Jubilee will be donated to the Dedham Food Pantry.
