Fundraising ongoing for W.S. Christmas tree

A committee in Willow Springs is raising money for a community Christmas Tree. The cost of this tree is $15,000. The commercial tree is constructed to ensure public safety to meet liability insurance requirements.

 

The desired tree will be 18 feet tall with a 3-foot star on top and decorated with ornaments. The lighted tree will be installed and anchored in the Wendell Bailey Park. 

 

Fundraising has already reached the halfway mark of the $15,000 as of now. The tree will be purchased when the committee reaches their $15,000.00 goal.

 

The tree can provide ways of bringing families and friends together within our community during a very special time of the year, says a release from the committee. 

 

Various donation levels are available: Bulb level: $1-$20.00, Branch level: $25-$50.00, Section level: $75.00-$100, and Gold Star: $100 +

 

Give in the honor of your loved one. Business sponsorships and community donations are welcome.

 

Checks should be made to: Willow Springs Chamber of Commerce, with the memo write: Christmas Tree Fund. Mail to: Willow Springs Chamber of Commerce, PO Box 322, Willow Springs, Mo. 65793
