Lucky and Santa

The holiday season is quickly approaching and the West Bay Rotary Christmas tree fundraiser is back and better than ever. The West Bay Rotary has increased the number of small trees in addition to adding garland and pine bunches to make mantles, stair rails, and lamp posts more festive and spread the great pine fragrance throughout the house. Members are also adding Santa's "Passmedown" Gift Shop, and will be decorating the inside of the gift shop and offering unique quality gifts. The gifts have all been donated and will be offered at special pricing with all proceeds benefit local charities. Limited quantities are available on a first come first serve basis. Gifts include:

David Jacobson Glass Studio, glass-blowing Christmas ornament experience

Maine Alpaca Experience, alpaca apparel

Swans Island Company, wool apparel

Kristen Lindquist, latest book of poetry (local poet and West Bay Rotarian)

T. Allen Lawson, scenic Maine Christmas cards (celebrated Maine artist, West Bay Rotarian, and Christmas card designer for George W Bush)

The West Bay Rotary will once again be selling at Maine Sports, 115 Commercial Street, Rockport, open noon to 6 p.m. weekdays, and 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekends from Saturday, November 25 through December 23, or until it sells out.

The West Bay Rotary thanks Maine Sports for again providing it a location for this annual fundraiser.

“We would also like to thank our generous sponsors who help make our fundraisers possible,” said the rotary, in a news release. “Rockport Automotive, Vanderbilt Beach Resort Naples, Camden Accommodations, Adventure Advertising, Maine Boats, Homes & Harbors, David Jacobson Glass Studio, Maine Alpaca Experience, Swans Island Company, and Maine Sport Outfitters.
