In all there will be about 35-40 artistic and meaningfilled Christmas trees created by: schools; church groups; service clubs; community organisations such as the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre; and individuals.
Because Fiona's mum and dad are playing various roles in this venture and because proceeds will go to the Maleny Neighbourhood Centre Association of which I am president, Fiona and I have contributed to a couple of the trees; made our own tree; and Fiona has made peace pebbles for sale.
Trees were erected today - some snapped photos of tress erected while we were at the UC follow.

As you can see from the photo below the event is over 4 days.
It is so good that the Christmas period can bring out such generosity in folk; and also a willingness to contribute to the creative community joy of Christmas.
