Coordinators Marcy Zietz and Zella Erickson. They have been leading the effort with the Mountain Lakes Presbyterian Church women for the past 10 years.
SEELEY LAKE - The annual "Giving Tree," sponsored by the Mountain Lakes Presbyterian Church women, brought Christmas joy to 15 families in the Valley. This year 92 gifts were given to 48 youth in the area.
Parents or guardians indicated a clothing item and one toy that were needed and/or wanted by their children or youth under the age of 18. For each child there was a card on the Giving Tree at Cory's Valley Market. The card listed age, gender and a gift to purchase. Community members selected a card and signed it out and returned the gift unwrapped.
Coordinator Marcy Zietz appreciates everyone who works behind the scenes preparing things, "so they go off without a hitch."
Zietz said, "It's a group effort that brings Christmas to so many homes that wouldn't otherwise have gifts."
