Christmas – a special time of giving
and receiving with Rotary
This Christmas , the Rotary Club of The Hills-Kellyville is giving families a chance to both give and receive . Firstly by purchasing a real Christmas tree at one of our two locations listed below . The giving is by purchasing a tree you are helping Rotary raise much needed funds to put back into the Community with 100 per cent of the profits from the sale of the trees doing just that .
The Christmas tree sale dates are across three weekends in December
• Saturday 2nd & Sunday 3rd December
• Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th December
• Saturday 16th & Sunday 17th December ( the last days subject to Christmas tree stock )
In two locations over both weekends :
• The Bull & Bush Hotel ( car park ), cnr Windsor Rd & Seven Hills Rd , Baulkham Hills
• The Ettamogah Hotel ( car park ), cnr Windsor Rd & Merriville Rd , Kellyville Ridge
Both locations are easy to get to with plenty of space to park and select a Christmas tree at your convenience . The Rotary team will even help load the trees for customers . For those of you who can ’ t make it to the Bull & Bush or Ettamogah , arrangements can be made for delivery . The finest of Christmas trees have been sourced from NSW farms around Sydney and will be freshly delivered on each weekend .
If it isn ’ t a fresh Christmas tree that you want this year than you can still give back to the community this Christmas by giving through the Rotary Club of The Hills- Kellyville at The Giving Tree located at Grove Square ( formerly Stockland Mall ), Baulkham Hills .
The Giving Tree has supported people at Christmas for more than two decades and this year we hope to give over 200 gifts to those in need , with gifts going to children , young adults and women at three different women ’ s refuges .
All funds raised from the Christmas tree sales will go entirely to projects of The Rotary Club of Hills-Kellyville . Our local programs include literacy initiatives for students and a local community garden . Further afield the club continues its Bourke Public School Breakfast Club
