Donation Request:
We would like to know if anyone has a small to medium evergreen tree on
their property that needs to be removed that we might use to decorate
for the holidays in the Log House this year. We also need some
evergreen branches and cuttings from anything live that might have
colorful berries on it for the Log House. We need these items by
Dec 1 as we have decorating scheduled in the Log House on December 2.
Please let Deb Shiverdecker know by November 20 if you are willing to
provide any of these items. Thanks so much!
