Y's Men's Club Christmas Tree Lot Open Dec. 11
The sixth annual Anaheim Y's Men's Club Christmas tree sale opened Tuesday, Dec. 11, according to Harry Burford, president of the Anaheim club. The location for the Christmas tree sale is at the northwest corner of West Broadway and South Lemon. For the convenience of Christmas tree shoppers drive in parking privileges are provided. Customers will find a wide selection of fresh trees at reasonable prices.
Selling Christmas trees has for more than a decade been a nation-wide project of Y's Men's clubs for the purpose of raising funds for youth projects. The members of the club volunteer their time and efforts in setting up the lot, purchasing the trees and conducting the sale.
The local Y's Men have built a cabin at Camp Osceola, sent boys and girls to camp during the summer, helped to sponsor the Youth and Government program at Sacramento, made many improvements in the local YMCA building and helped in numerous other youth projects. When purchasing a tree at the Y's Men's lot you can be assured of not only a fine fresh tree but reasonable prices and the knowledge that what small profit there may be goes to worth-while causes.
