Camrose Swans & Roses Lions Club
Long-time members of the Camrose Swans & Roses Lions Club, Mel Okimaw and Gary Cunningham, or other club volunteers will help you choose a wonderful balsam fir tree to bring the pleasant aroma and ambiance of an old-time Christmas to your home or business. Every tree on the lot, featured on the northern edge of the Days Inn Camrose parking lot, was farm grown and groomed in Nova Scotia and brought to Camrose as part of the Club’s most prominent and most profitable fundraiser of the year. Owners of the Days Inn Camrose Norsemen have graciously offered this area of their parking lot free of charge once again. Members of Camrose Rotary Daybreak pitched in to help unload over 300 trees that are now offered for sale. The Lions Club tree lot is now open in advance of the holiday season. One hundred percent of the tree sales profit, plus any tips, will be distributed to important causes in the community including Battle River Lending Place, Neighbor Aid, Camrose Christmas Cheer Fund, Camrose Kinettes Silent Santa and the Camrose Public Library Snacks in the Stacks initiative.
