November 22, 2025 – Decorate the Vanderwolf Tree on Town Hill
 
What a wonderful experience this afternoon working together to decorate our GCN Tree on Town Hill!  
 
Our decorating team consisted of: Susan A, Michele D, Stephanie H, Leslie L, Marianne M, Laurel S, Rick T, Janet T, and our “newest member”, Mike. 
 
A special shout-out to Susan A, Michele D, and Leslie L for creating the stars, cranberry strings, and bells that adorn the tree. Everything was made from recycled and natural materials. It is stunning! Thank you to this team for the vision to decorate our tree this way.
