December's Season of Celebrations & Sharing - Free Christmas Tree Giveaway in Clark County, Washington -

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear. That, and giving away Free Christmas Trees. Columbia Credit Union has once again teamed up with a couple of Boy Scout Troops to help make the season brighter for Clark County families.

Columbia Credit Union's "Make Life Better" program is a year round effort and shines particularly bright during the holiday season. They recently sponsored, and volunteered, at Camas' Hometown Holidays and Ridgefield's Hometown Celebration.

$25 coupons will be given to the first 40 takers at two Boy Scout tree lots in Clark County. The Free Christmas Tree giveaway gets underway at noon on Saturday, December 10th. Use one for yourself, or better yet, surprise a family in need with a tree.

Boy Scout Troop # 14 Tree Lot
Salmon Creek Methodist Church
12217 NE Hwy. 99 Vancouver, WA 98686

Boy Scout Troop #731
Tree Lot Corner of Mill Plain & MacArthur Blvd.
Vancouver, WA 98661

If you're looking for a new home with plenty of evergreens in the yard - I'd love to be your guide. Let's explore you options.

Beautiful picture of you, my friend. And there is NO WAY that Mimi would spread Christmas Cheer if she sang out loud for all to hear LOL

Alexandra, Thanks for your visit and I too love reading and writing these postive holiday stories.

Mimi - ha ha. I'm with ya on the singing out loud for all to hear. :) Our buddy Kris inspired me to do a seasonal profile pic.

Hi janeAnne - Glad you approve of the photo - annual Christmas letter shot. (minus the antlers) ;) Yeah, I sing too - even though I probably shouldn't.

DJ - Looking good in wearing your Christmas cheer :) Indeed Boy Scouts are a great organization and we all should pitch in and help them when we can. Buy a tree or two or three.

I could not at first find your blog under my subscriptions as you changed your picture. Good picture and fits the season : )

I always enjoy reading about Boy and Girl scout activities as they usually involve some type of excellent community work. Bravo to the scouts for this tree program. Hopefully several families who would not be able to afford a tree can now get one.

I sure hope people who really need it get the trees. Often you see people take these even if they don't really need to, just because they are free.

Q-man - this is a good program and it's actually a local credit union that gets most of the props here...although, the Boy Scouts are making it happen too. Good to see you.

Ha ha. Sorry, Bob - didn't mean to throw you off...just got inspired to do a little holiday makeover. :) Yep - the Scouts and Columbia Credit Union are doing a good thing -

One reason I wanted to write this post is to help remind people to use it for folks who really need some assistance...as Todd mentioned #7. It's a shame to see folks who can afford to buy their own tree using this instead of passing it on..so, let's hope we all do the right thing.
