Does anyone know if the Sheriff's office....
 
takes donations of artificial Christmas trees? I've heard this off and on for years.

I don't know, pooh I've never heard it before. Why don't you just call them up and ask. They're for the most part friendly people.

Are you looking to get rid of one? I have to buy one. Has to be ten foot tall. Green. Look like the real thing.

This is a serious Christmas rule at the G's.

I will give them a call, but thought I'd ask here first just in case anyone has had any experience with this.

The one I have is very realistic, rather wide, but only about 7 feet tall.

It is a beautiful tree, but way too large for me to decorate. It also has one strand of lights that are out, but the company that makes the tree has sent along the lights to replace the ones that are out. I haven't put them on.

If you're ambitious, Gracie, it's yours.

LOL...you're not insensitive, Gracie...really, the tree is yours if you want it. Can't seem to find a photo of it, though. Every year I take pictures of my tree and for some reason, I CAN'T FIND THAT ONE!

Sent you an e-mail.

Florida Sheriff's Youth Ranches
 
Is having their annual drive for donations to be used or sold to benefit this worthy cause.
They will set up a Truck at the Sheriff's Substation on Rte 466 from October 25th through the 28th 9am to 3pm.
They will also pick up large items. Their # is 800-765-3797.
I'm sure they will gladly accept your christmas tree.

Thank you so much. If Gracie doesn't take it, that's where it will go! Again, thank you.
