OPTIMIST CLUB TREESALES SUPPORT FSBGC

For more than 60 years, the Optimist Club of Fort Smith has supported area youth programs through their annual sales of Christmas Trees. Thousands and thousands of trees have been sold at Hunts Park to benefi t the Boys & Girls Club. Our motto is “friend of youth” said local Optimist president Brian Nave. “We are always looking for ways to help young people and to spread the spirit of optimism” he added. Nave is one of many volunteers who work at the lot. During the past decade there has been a rapid increase in the sales of artifi cial Chr istmastrees, which has slowed sales nationwide for real trees. Even with the reduction of sales, the local Optimist Club has continued their fundraising efforts for the Boys & Girls Club. The lot opens the day after Thanksgiving and offers various sizes and types of trees including: Noble, Fraser and Douglas Firs. Flocking is also available. “We have several people in our area who make the tree selection process a family tradition” said tree lot coordinator Don Moon. “These folks still like having the smell of a fresh cut tree and knowing they are helping area youth with their support” he added. $ 6,000 in net profi t is earned through the annual fundraiser. The Optimist Club meets every Wednesday at noon at the Holiday Inn. The Club has various projects throughout the year that benefi t area youth. Anyone interested in becoming an Optimist member can contact Brian Nave at (479) 709-6490.
