Christmas Tree Fundraiser |
|
As many of you know, our town's historic Christmas tree loses more branches every year and we will need to replace it soon; a new tree will cost about $20,000! Fundraising for a new tree is underway and will continue throughout 2023.
If you would like to contribute, you can name your price: donations can easily be made online (below). If you prefer to pay by phone or check, please contact our office. Many thanks those who have already contributed!
$1,000+ sponsors will be listed on a plaque that will be hung at the tree every year (and on display at the Chamber office the rest of the year).
