Veterans Day Event - Saturday November 11

Hundreds of Christmas tree farmers from around the country donate thousands of live Christmas trees that are delivered by Federal Express to military bases in the U.S. and overseas.


In 2005, the Trees for Troops program donated and delivered 4,400 trees. This year's goal is to deliver 12,000 trees to 20 military bases.


Harvesting Memories is coordinated by the National Scrapbooking Association in conjunction with the Christmas Tree Association. Proceeds from all Harvesting Memories efforts go to the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, a 501(c)(3) a public charity, and are earmarked for the Trees for Troops program.

Goodie Bag filled with products from generous sponsors
Raffle ticket for door prizes plus opportunity to purchase additional tickets
On-site shopping and scrapbooking services
FREE one-year membership to the National Scrapbooking Association
