Description

Medfield Boy Scout Troop 89 will pick up this year's Christmas Trees Medfield Boy Scout Troop 89 is pleased to announce it will pick up Medfield residents' Christmas Trees after the holiday on two days in January, Sunday, the 2nd, and Saturday, the 8th. Not only will Troop 89 pick up Christmas Trees but it will also take away wreaths and other greenery, bringing them to the Medfield Transfer Station, announced Scoutmaster Jim Hatch. It is the Troops 26th year of providing this service. "Picking up Christmas Trees is as much of a tradition for Troop 89 as the holiday itself," said Scoutmaster Hatch. "Last year we picked up over 630 trees, which was a record for us. We look forward to providing this service again in January." The suggested donation remains the same -- $20 for a large tree, one that's over 10 feet tall, to $15 for a smaller tree. This fundraiser helps fund many of Troop 89's activities for the year. Last year the scouts exceeded their fundraising goal and made the decision to give away the excess to local community organizations. "Community service and doing good works is the cornerstone of the scouting program. Troop 89 has a long history of doing good work in Medfield. The scouts were thrilled to be able to use some of the money raised to make donations to the Medfield Food Pantry, Medfield Animal Shelter, and Trustees of the Reservation." said Scoutmaster Hatch. "We hope to turn community giving into an annual tradition. With the continued support of the community, we should be able to make that happen" Medfield residents can reach out to Troop 89 via email at [email protected] or sign up online, if they'd like Troop 89 to pick up their tree or other greenery.
