Orono, Maine - The Rosscare Foundation and Dirigo Pines are pleased to announce the return of the Antique Appraisal Show, Saturday, April 27 from 10 am to 2 pm at Dirigo Pines Retirement Community in Orono. Now in its fourth year, this premiere event has become a much anticipated tradition to benefit Rosscare’s LiveSAFE Fund.
LiveSAFE is a Maine-based program that provides services to more than 1,390 elderly and disabled residents throughout the northern two thirds of Maine. Should an individual experience an emergency, help can be summoned through the simple push of a button. Operators will then respond to the call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and provide the appropriate response. This program has allowed many to safely stay in their homes longer. The Rosscare LiveSAFE Fund ensures that those who might need a help button, but who are unable to afford one, can receive this life-saving service.
The Antique Appraisal Show will feature Bruce A. Buxton, a licensed qualified appraiser, known for his entertaining and lively style. Bruce has 36 years of experience as an expert antique and fine art appraiser. Mr. Buxton and his staff will not buy or sell any items at the event, guaranteeing an unbiased assessment of the antiques. Jewelry appraiser, Elizabeth Yates Turner from Damariscotta, Maine will also be available. Her experience includes working as an appraiser at Skinner’s Auction Gallery in Boston. She is a member of the Gemological Institute of America and the National Association of Jewelry Appraisers.
The fee for appraisal is $10 for one item, $18 for two items, and $25 for three items. All money raised stays local to help low income seniors and disabled residents in our community.
The public is invited to bring items to be appraised or just to join us for the fun. For more information, contact Steve Bowler at 866.3400 or the Rosscare Foundation at 973.5055.
Thank you to our event sponsors Means Investment, Affiliated Healthcare Systems, and Dirigo Pines.
