There is nothing better than a real Christmas tree to get you into the spirit of the festive season.
The Lions Club of Emu Plains will be continuing their tradition of fundraising by selling live trees on Saturday, December 4 at Lions Park, Great Western Highway, Emu Plains.
With real trees becoming scarce in the area over the last few years, Emu Plains Lions Coordinator John Choma said they have sourced their stock from Oberon.
“Real trees are getting harder and harder to find but the joy of a real tree is evident on the faces of the children, who select their tree each year,” he said.
“No two trees are the same and selection is something of an art.”
Cut the day before, Mr Choma said the fresh trees will be available for the reasonable price of $45 each and can be purchased with cash only.
“The trees will be delivered around 7am and the club will be exercising a COVID-safe queuing plan,” he said.
“That means buyers need to be patient while the truck is unloading and while waiting to select that special tree.”
Proceeds from tree sales will go towards the Ronald McDonald Family Room in Nepean Hospital, along with Lifeline.
