Nov 27, 2020 09:10AM ● By Grace Allen
Despite the challenges posed
by the pandemic, both the
Norfolk and Wrentham Lions
Clubs are holding their annual
Christmas tree sales this holiday season. Sales began in late
November and will continue
until all trees are gone.
In Norfolk, the tree sale is
being held at the lot next to Dunkin’ on Main Street. Selling
hours are weekdays from 3 to 9
p.m. and weekends from 9 a.m.
to 9 p.m.
In Wrentham, the tree sale
is being held at the VFW Hall
property on South Street (Rt.
1A). Hours are Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday from 5 to 8
p.m. and weekends from 8 a.m.
to 8 p.m.
Both clubs accept cash or
checks only. No credit cards.
The Lions are observing Massachusetts and CDC COVID-19
regulations and guidelines and
ask that all visitors please wear a
mask.
Tree selections include Balsam Fir and Fraser Fir, grown in
Maine and Canada, and range
from five to eleven feet high.
On average it takes ten to twelve
years of growing time and professional care before a tree is
ready for harvest.
At both locations, the Lions
will trim the bottom of the tree
and help secure it to the car.
The Norfolk Lions are also
selling wreaths, tree bags, and
tree life preservative to promote
needle retention and to help keep
the tree fresh.
Also at the Norfolk site is a
collection bin for Coats for Kids.
Donated outerwear in good condition for men, women, and children will be dry-cleaned courtesy
of Anton’s Cleaners and then
distributed to needy area families.
The Norfolk Lions are also
accepting non-perishable food
donations for the Norfolk Food
Pantry at the tree sale.
Proceeds from the Lions tree
sales go right back into the community and to various Lions
charities, noted Wrentham Lions
President and King Lion Rich
MacKeen.
“Monies that the Lions generate go to seed such research as
blindness prevention, diabetes
prevention, and numerous other
causes,” added Kevin Roche,
President and King Lion of the
Norfolk club.
In addition to serving their
communities, both Lions Clubs
also promote the mission of
Lions Club International, the
world’s largest service organization. Lions Club International
has more than 1.4 million members in approximately 46,000
clubs in more than 200 countries
and geographical areas around
the world.
