For the past few years, Christmas trees have been purchased by Clear Lake Freemasons and sold by Clear Lake True Value following Thanksgiving Day. This year, transportation of the freshly-harvested conifers was also provided by Clear Lake True Value.
Trees are sold at a discounted price — and any “profit” realized is, in turn, donated by the Masons to the local communities. This year, 50 trees were collected for holiday sales.
