What we do
Giving Tree
Since 1987, the Club's major project, "The Giving Tree". co-ordinates with local Social Service agencies , individuals and families to grant Christmas wishes to disadvantaged residents of the County. The wishes are place on Doves that decorate "Giving Trees" at banks, schools, churches and businesses throughout Livingston County.
