Tree of Joy

Mark Bisson of Deutsche Bank was on hand today to supervise the cutting of this year’s Tree of Joy for the Rotary Club of Guernsey’s annual appeal.

The Rotary Club were delighted to identify, for the first time, a suitable tree locally – situated at the home of Marcel and Marlene Flouquet, La Charderie de Bas, Havilland Vale. This tree is destined for the St. Julian’s Avenue Roundabout this weekend. Using a locally grown tree reduces costs so the Rotary Club are able to use the savings to purchase additional lights and decorations for this year.

In common with many organisations, Deutsche Bank chose to nominate a charity instead of sending corporate Christmas cards. However, last year the Bank went one step further and agreed to provide additional funding to underwrite the project for three years to enable Rotary's efforts to be concentrated on raising funds to gather gifts for children.
