The Wolfeboro Rotary Club is pleased to announce we will be selling our beautiful Christmas Trees again this year. Sales will start Saturday, November 30 at 10 am and will continue that weekend and every Thursday to Sunday thereafter from 10 am to 4 pm until sold out. You can find us at the Clark Museum Complex across from Huggins Hospital. We welcome you to stop by and join us around
our cozy campfire.
our cozy campfire.
The trees are coming from upstate NH from the same supplier we have used for several years. They are known for their excellent quality. We will again have a supply of Fraser firs, Balsam firs and thehybrid, very popular Canaan firs.
Trees will run from $40 to $70, depending, on size and . Although our prices may be slightly higher than others in the area, our sales are for our fundraiser and 100% of all profits go to provide scholarships for local students and to support other local causes, with a heavy emphasis on youth services and programs. (see below for more detail). Also, the trees we sell are cut just before they are delivered and therefore are the freshest possible.
Decorating Around the Town: Rotary members will be contacting local businesses to purchase a tree for display at their business. Any business owner who is interested may also contact our Committee Chairman Brian Laing directly at halket22@yahoo.com to order one of our $45 six-foot trees.
Over the past 18 years our fundraisers and donations have enabled us to:
• Give $151,000 in vocational and college scholarships to 153 local students
• Provide $54,600 in financial support to a variety of community projects and services
• Donate $80,300 in support of local youth social services
• Everyschoolyeardonate world atlases to every third grader at Carpenter School.
• Serve as the charter organization for Cub Scout Pack 165.
• Establish a 10-year pledge of $25,000 to support The Nick (of which $15,000 has already been
donated for the first six years)
• Contribute $25,600 toward the Kingswood Youth Center building fund, well and computer
• Donate $20,000 to the Huggins Hospital Fund for Charity Care
• Donate $35,500 to various local charities and the international wheelchair program
• Donate $5,000 to the Friends of the Wolfeboro Library's Energy Efficiency Fund for the Library
renovations.

Program in the Magic Moments preschool classroom at the Lakes Region Technology Center
• Donate $35,500 to aid victims of natural disasters at home and abroad

Of course, we could accomplish none of this without the very generous support of the businesses and organizations in town and our wonderfully supportive citizens.
