12/7/12 - The Sons of the American Legion in Howell are once again selling Christmas trees to raise money for local non-profits this month. The post began selling the trees about 20 years ago to help support area families. The proceeds from each yearâs sale will go to benefit families during the next Christmas season through organizations like Make a Wish, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Ashleyâs Friends, and the Michigan Special Olympics. Legion Post First Vice Ken Newell says the post usually sells out of trees several days before Christmas and any that are left over are given for free to local families in need. The American Legion Post 141 is located at the corner of M-59 and Grand River in Howell Township. Trees can be purchased for $25 apiece during regular post hours, which run from 10:30am to 11pm or later Monday through Saturday and from noon to 8pm on Sundays. Buyers can choose from White Fir, Blue Spruce, Douglas Fir, Scotch Pine, and Balsam Fir while supplies last. For more information, contact American Legion Devereaux Post 141 at 517-546-2534.
