Sixty Rotarians and guests enjoyed the community’s official kick-off to the holiday season at the 30th Annual Jubilee of Trees on Monday, November 22 at the Dixie Center. A delicious luncheon was followed by a fashion show and a short program focusing on the importance of early detection for breast cancer in the state ranked 49th in the nation for mammography - a horrifying statistic in our great state!!! As always, the Jubilee of Trees - which began in 1982 with Linda Sappington as the event’s “birth mother” - featured beautifully decorated new and recycled trees, wreaths, gingerbread houses, gifts, baked goods and candies, music, drawings, and “special events within the event.” Thanks to Rotarians for supporting this important cause to increase the survival rate of wives, mothers, sisters, daughters and even about 20% of the members of SGR against this terrible disease.
