Breaking News:
Several elves, short and tall , disguised as BWC members descended upon the bare BWC evergreen tree on the east shore of the depot pond. Less than a hour later, it was transformed into a patriotic themed tree.
Red, white and blue stars told the story of the many charities the BWC has helped over the years. Small American flags were attached to its many branches, shining in the sun on this warmer day. The breeze sending the flags into motion, made the little tree look as if it came to life… waving its flags to show its own American pride!
The elves also brought their favorite basic food groups: hot chocolate, peppermint sticks and chocolate candy. It was also observed that some elves may have been spiking the cocoa, but these reports cannot be confirmed. There was also holiday music creating a festive atmosphere, causing some of the elves to dance!
Several BWC members arrived to carefully manage the elf activity. BWC thanks them for their oversight and “elfen” care: Patti Condon for providing the elves with the patriotic theme and decor; Bobbi Von Lunen for suggesting we create a theme; Cindy Cannella for organizing the elves, and fellow elf-like members, Rosemary Henders, Marsha Sikkema and her friend Karla Kuipers, Nan Phillips, Sandra Jelm and Cynthia Kieckhefer.
The tree was topped with a “masked-up” Santa to help “spread” the message of self and community care and “not to spread” the virus!
The BWC tree is #12 and can be found on the east shore of the depot pond just beyond the playground by the Peg Bond Center.
