We want to introduce the groups who were nominated to do the honors of lighting the Village Christmas Tree this year:

The Giving Tree committee- this committee connects families in need with those who can give during the Christmas season, helping over 70 families and over 180 children. This program allows families to buy children snow pants, boots, coats, hats, hygiene products, and a fun personal item for children in need during Christmas time. Luann Fuetz, a retired Lakeview teacher who started the giving tree project in Lakeview over 30 years ago will do the honors of lighting the tree alongside Tanya and Holly who carry on this wonderful project.

The next nomination is the fourth grade students and elementary principal Mrs. Jackson, the fourth grade students created Christmas ornaments to adorn the tree in the White House from Korsen's Tree Farm!! What an honor! And guess what?! The Village Christmas Tree was donated from Korsen’s tree farm also 🥰 Korsen's Tree Farm

The tree is finished and somehow it is even more gorgeous this year ✨

We can’t wait to light up Lakeview with you all on Saturday, Dec. 6th at approximately 7:30 pm. It’s going to be magical!

Thank you to everyone who keeps this project running and for those who have taken it in their hands to do the hard work of decorating, especially Ed Winter, Lane Leppink, and Chad Carlson.
