As in past years the tree’s ornaments will be tags with requests of all sorts. If you take a request tag, please return the gift. All gifts must be returned by Sunday, December 15th. Any tags left on the tree will be collected and those items purchased. Gift sorting will be done the afternoon of December 15th and distribution of gifts will be Tuesday, December 17th.
