Dear Editor:
Most of us have a Christmas tree purchase on our "to-do" list. Before you head off to the local big box store to buy your tree remember that there are a number of local non-profit groups selling local trees to raise funds for their activities in your community.
Groups such as the cubs and scouts, Lions Club, local sports teams and other community organizations count on the annual sales revenue from Christmas trees to fund their many projects and activities. If you purchase a tree from these groups, you are making a donation to them and your community, plus you get a great Christmas tree for your effort.
Have a merry Christmas.
