Rotary tree lot on Larchmont
WILSHIRE ROTARY lot is open for the holidays.
•Christmas trees are on the Boulevard
“Come to the happiest little tree lot on Larchmont,” said Wendy Clifford, the woman in charge of the Wilshire Rotary Christmas Tree Lot for the last 19 years. Find Christmas trees, wreaths, and wooden reindeer at 568 N. Larchmont Blvd.
The lot opens for business Fri., Nov. 28, and remains open daily from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. until the trees are gone. “When we’re out, we’re out,” said Clifford. Noble, Douglas, Nordmann, and silver tip firs will be available for purchase.
The trees are sourced in Oregon and arrive on the Boulevard within two days. “It’s a very fast process that amazes me,” said Clifford. Over the course of the season, they’ll receive 3,000 trees in three separate shipments, so the trees are very fresh.
Volunteers from the Larchmont Charter Lafayette Park Interact Club, a high school version of Rotary, are instrumental in keeping the lot staffed. Profits from the sales are donated to the Wilshire Rotary Foundation, which supports youth and humanity projects around the globe.
Wilshire Rotary will also collect donations of unwrapped toys on-site and donate them to the L.A. Red Shield Community Center, where they will be distributed to children in need.
