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.
