Jan 10 & 11 | Lions Clubs Annual Tree Chipping Event

December 29, 2008

I usually get in big trouble every year as I rail against cutting down live trees for Christmas. However, if you did, and have a live tree, you’ll want to make sure it makes it into the compost. One way to do that is to get take it to the Lions Club tree chipping location near you.

Support the Lions Clubs by bringing your live, cut tree to the annual Christmas tree chipping event. Donations of cash and non-perishable food items will be distributed to local charities.
Date: Saturday Jan 10, 2009 to Sunday Jan 11, 2009
