Newtown Boy Scout Troop 270 will be picking up Christmas trees from residences again this year as a fundraiser.

Members will be doing pickups Saturdays and Sundays, January 4-5 and 17-18; and Saturday, January 10. A $10 donation per tree is requested.

Residents are asked to contact Scott W. Coleman, at 203-500-3768 or troop270@charter.net, with the preferred date for the pickup, street address, and where the tree will be left for Scouts to pick up.

Donations should be attached to the tree (plastic sandwich bag with tape), taped to a front door, put it in a mailbox, or any other convenient location; let Mr Coleman know where he and the Scouts can locate it.
