Thanks to everyone who helped out with our Christmas Tree fundraiser this weekend!
 
Rotarians, members of SADI and other friends/family of Rotary came together this weekend for two successful days of tree sales! Please see the update from Rotarian and Christmas Tree Fundraiser chair, Les Brough, below:
 
 
Hi Saturday Sales Team,
 
Thanks for the great effort today in “not the best weather”. Special thanks to Nick for promoting the Christmas Music which we will continue and to supplying the much needed fire pit, which we hope to use again.
 
We did exceedingly well today and, if tomorrow goes anywhere near as well, it will be a very successful weekend.  The weather will determine if we can collect more trees from the farm tomorrow (at 8:30 pm Saturday it’s still not looking good).  In any case we will definitely need more trees for next weekend: we will plan for that later.  Right now we are aiming for Thursday (so if you felixible please plan ahead). 
 
 
Good evening Sunday’s Sales Team,
 
What a great team effort and another outstanding day - we exceeded Saturday’s sales.
 
It was impressive to see the effort that Don, Rock, Michael Z and Jacob put into bringing more trees down from the tree farm. We will be doing another cutting and collection of trees next Thursday as well as another weekend of selling on Saturday and Sunday. Stay posted for more opportunities to make more much-needed funds for our Rotary club!
 
Again, thanks to a really good Rotary Team.
 
Les
