The Clarion November 19, 1986 Page 3 Brevard College now selling Christmas trees by Sandy Rogers Why not buy your Christmas tree this year from Brevard College? Brevard College is selling Christmas trees to add to the student scholarship fund. “It’s a pilot program,” said Mark Bailey, director of development. “We need to find an alternative source of financial aid and this is one way.” The cost of the 6-foot-tall fraser fir trees is $40. One-half of this price is a tax- deductible contribution for the student scholarship fund. “We’re only going to sell top-quality trees,” said Bailey. The Christmas trees are grown in Brevard on tree farms, and Bailey said that they “received the best agricultural care.” There are two ways to buy a Christmas tree from Brevard College. Parents may order one by sending in the form that they received in the mail, or a student may buy one from Bill Moore’s Christmas Tree Club on campus. For those of you who are wondering how to get a Christmas tree home, Bailey said, “We’ll tie them up with twine, and put them in the back of students’ car.
