The Giving Tree is a real presence during the holiday season, though they are active all year long, helping with individual’s expenses and bills, boosting a pocketbook here and there, and providing smiles along the way. They have so much fun making the rounds, visiting with friends and neighbors and sharing sweets, gift cards, and some good old-fashioned holiday cheer.
Carmen Glidden (aka Mrs. Claus), a mainstay of The Giving Tree for over 30 years, was joined by her daughter Giselle Haines and Santa, with Marie Sutherland beating a path along the way, all visited the residents of the Rangeley Townhouse Apartments and exchanged a few laughs and smiles with one another.
