Aunt Leah’s Xmas Tree Sales

Members of Rotary Club of Vancouver Arbutus, members-to-be, as well as family members of the club spent a Sunday afternoon at Aunt Leah’s Xmas Tree Sales.  As told by Dianna Smith, RCVA’s partnership with Aunt Leah’s evolved from Rotary Club of Vancouver South.  RCVS has been involved with Aunt Leah's from its inception supporting its first project in the 1980's. When they started their first tree lot at 54th and Granville, Aunt Leah's approached RCVS for support but the club did not have funds to donate so they decided to donate their time. With donated time Aunt Leah’s was able to reduce their payroll expenses and thereby increase their profits. When Rotary Club of Vancouver South merged with Rotary Club of Vancouver Arbutus in 2015, we continued to support this event.
