Giving Tree

It’s that time of the year again and the Rowan Rec Center is giving back and giving us the opportunity to do so as well…

There is a giving tree, or a green felt giving tree I should day, on the wall as soon as you walk into the Rec Center. Never been there? It’s the large building next to the big colorful shapes. The Rec Giving Tree is full of ornaments and these ornaments contain a gender (male, female, or unisex) and the present idea. The next part is easy.. Grab any ornament you’d like off of the tree (they are in shapes of bells, reindeer, stockings, gingerbread men.. well you get the point). Then bring the ornament up to the front desk where they will have you fill out your name, gift, ornament number, and email. The rest is up to you! Just purchase the gift(s) and return it to the Rec Center.. It doesn’t even have to be wrapped!

Where are these gifts going?

Currently, the community service division of the Rowan Rec Center is planning a large community service event, during which poor and homeless children from HomeFront will visit the Rec Center for a holiday party. At the end of the party Santa will visit, bringing gifts for all of the children in attendance and even those who could not make it. Please help the Rowan Rec Center bring holiday joy and spirit to these children whose spirits have been quite low.
