It’s that time of year again.  The Swanton Lions Club is conducting their Giving Tree program which will run from now until the 9^th of December.  The program involves people purchasing gifts for less fortunate Swanton students who attend Swanton Elementary.  All applications for assistance have been received and lists have been made out and distributed. Individual lists of gifts a child may need or want will be placed in a Christmas Stocking at seven different businesses in Swanton. 

The businesses are the American Legion (Hallet Ave.), CK Sweets (S. Main Street), Club Salon (Dodge Street), DeEtte’s Dream Diner (S. Main Street), First Federal Savings & Loan (N. Main Street), You-nique Bou-tique (N. Main Street) and the Wings Station (Airport Highway).

If anyone would like to help out a child this holiday season, all they need to do is visit one of these locations and pull the list from a stocking and buy some or all of what is on the list.  Most of the listed items are clothing.  Once purchased, they should bring the gifts to the same location no-later-than December 9^th where they will be picked up by a member of the Swanton Lions.

If they decide, instead, to make a monetary donation, they will be given an envelope for cash or a check that can then be left at that location.  The Lions Club requests that lists not be taken if you intend to make a monetary donation.

Once all gifts have been purchased and collected, the Swanton Lions will contact all the families and arrange for pick up at the Swanton Sports Center.  On behalf of the Swanton Lions Club, we appreciate your generosity.
