The Rotary Club of Deniliquin’s Christmas tree sale has been a success with locals.
The group exhausted their allocation, which has not only added to Christmas for many local families but also raised important funds for local projects.
Rotarians took orders with assistance from the Edward River Art Society, and Rotarian Tony Kew said it was so popular it will return in future years.
In fact, Mr Kew said Deni will ensure they have access to additional trees next year.
“We will certainly be doing it again”
“They’re good health trees and the Rotary Club over at Albury grow and supply them to us.”
Deni Rotarians went to Sydney to collect the 30 trees ordered by local families, which were then collected from the ERAS gallery in Cressy St on Sunday.
All money raised from the sales of the Christmas trees will be going toward community projects undertaken by the Rotary Club of Deniliquin.
“Last year we donated $30,000 across the year back into community projects,” Mr Kew said.
“We are very happy with the outcome, and it all worked out really well with the Edward River Arts Society.”
Some of the live trees have added to the ERAS Christmas-themed exhibition, which can be viewed from 10am to 3pm Wednesday to Saturday until December 21.
