Editor,
What happened to Christmas spirit? This past Sunday morning I drove by the Visitor’s Center in Ronan and realized there was only one Christmas tree on the porch. Did the other fall over? No, it was gone. Stolen.
These trees were a fundraising project sponsored by our high school Student Council to raise money and buy gifts and food for needy families in our community. Do you realize that bulbs were purchased to adorn the trees? They were purchased by community members as a memorial to a loved one or to recognize someone in the military. The trees were purchased from FFA so they in turn can sponsor projects. How could you even think of doing such a heinous act? This is a time of joy and caring for others. Are you proud that “we” provided your “free” tree with the stand and the strings of lights? So many good things happen in our town, this act of stealing just doesn’t happen to be one of them.
