The Ashland Lions had a great year selling Christmas trees and wreaths in our new location behind the Ashland VFW. The lot opened the day after Thanksgiving and wrapped up on Friday, December 16th! We would like to thank the people of Ashland and surrounding towns who purchased their tree or wreath from the Ashland Lions tree lot to support a good cause, because 100% of the proceeds from selling trees and wreaths goes to our local community and Mass Lions Eye Research Fund. The Ashland Lions are grateful to the Ashland High football team and Coach McKay for their help unloading hundreds of trees upon arrival, and to Boy Scouts Troop 232 and Leos Club members who volunteered every weekend to sell trees and wreaths. A big thank you to the Ashland VFW for our 2nd year in our new home. Most importantly, Ashland Lions thanks its members for their efforts with preparing the lot, covering every open shift, and cleaning up when everything was done. We hope to see you again next year!
