Christmas Tree Lot Update

A big THANK YOU to all scouts and adults who volunteered at the Christmas Tree Lot this weekend. Tons of snow and trees were moved so the tree lot could be open. We had a successful weekend and sold approximately 100 trees.

We still have about 40 trees to sell so volunteers will be needed this week. Stay tuned for Tree Lot updates.

SPECIAL THANKS to Mr. Jim Miller host of the Michigan Outdoor Adventures radio program on WMJZ Eagle 101.5. Mr. Miller interviewed Mr. Wagar and Kevin N. on Saturday and helped promote the Troop 1 Christmas Tree lot to his radio audience. Several people mentioned they had heard about the tree lot on the radio.

SPECIAL THANKS to Mr. Al Nutter for his time and Scouting Spirit Saturday morning. Mr. Nutter helped move the troop trailer and helped to untie and set up about 70 Christmas Trees. Mr. Nutter is an Eagle Scout and past Committee Chair for Troop 1.

Merry Christmas!

Tree Lot Help Needed This Weekend

Our Christmas Tree Lot is covered with snow and our paths to the trees have been plowed shut.

We need volunteers with shovels or snow blowers to help dig out the lot on Saturday!

The second weekend in December is traditionally our biggest tree sales weekend of the year. We need to have our Christmas Tree lot assessable to the public this weekend.

Please contact Mr. Neff if you can help with snow removal Saturday morning between 10AM and Noon or if you can help sell trees between noon and 6PM.

Thanks
Tim
