Trees of Joy
The West Pennant Hills and Cherrybrook Rotary Club 2023 Trees’ of Joy are up and running at the Cherrybrook Village Shopping Centre and Westleigh Village.
In conjunction with the Shopping Centre Management, our Rotary Club has operated a Christmas Giving Tree for the past 31 years receiving around 1000 gifts each year. We work with charities/organisations to identity disadvantaged people who would welcome your generosity in providing a specific gift at Christmas. Only about 85% of the tags are taken from the tree meaning some people miss out. Please take a tag from the Christmas tree and help us spread some Christmas joy. A tree will also be at the Cherrybrook Public School Christmas Fête on Nov 19 and our Christmas Market at Cherrybrook RFS on Dec 3. Our Supporting Charities/organisation
