Top Christmas trees on sale

Do you want to buy a top-notch Christmas tree and help to support charity at the same time?

Matamata Rotarians will this year again be out in town selling Christmas trees in the lead-up to the festive season.

Rotary Club of Matamata director David Gasquione said the club had sold Christmas trees in the town for many years and the project was a key annual fundraiser.

‘‘The trees we are selling have been pro- fessionally grown and cared for so they are a top-quality tree to put in your home,’’ Mr Gasquione said.

This project is one of many which Rotary undertakes and the money raised will be used to help with the many programmes and causes that Rotary supports.

‘‘We really appreciate all the support the community has given us in past years and hope that once again this year people will be willing to purchase a tree from Rotary,’’ Mr Gasquione said. During the week, the trees are available for purchase at Kaimai Garden Centre, Four Seasons Garden Centre and Pippins, while on Saturday, December 8, 15 and 22 they will be sold by Rotarians at the New World car park. They will also be available at the annual Christmas market at Matamata Primary School on Saturday, December 8.

Mr Gasquione said the trees cost between $35 and $50 depending on their size.
