This weekend is the tree and wreath distribution. If looks like we will get some festive snow, so please bundle up appropriately (Hats, gloves, warm, jackets, etc!) Also, if you know your customers you might encourage them to come earlier in the day before the snow picks up – plus the best selection! Below is the list of people working the distribution. If any of the adults can bring an extra tree saw during their time that would be great.

YIS/V,
Helen
