The first in a series featured for sale at all NOCO Express Shops is available for holiday purchase. Sales to benefit the October 2006 tree reforesting effort.
Stop in to the 32 area NOCO Express Shops where their display Christmas trees will be lit and adorned with ornaments for sale to benefit Re-Tree WNY starting November 21st. The ornaments, specially designed for ReTree WNY, feature a Delaware Park oak on one side and a Christmas tree on the other with the words “Christmas, 2007” and the Re-Tree WNY logo.
But you better get in line quick because there are only 200 ornaments per store – limited edition, you might say.
These silver metal ornaments represent the first issue in a series that coincides with the five-year project that Re-Tree WNY has activated as a response to the October 12-13, 2006 surprise storm. And you can either pick them off the display trees or pick one up at the check-out register for a small donation of $4.99.
NOCO Express Shops General Manager Henry Bays is enthusiastic about the NOCO/ReTree partnership and said: “Our chain of stores is locally owned and operated and the entire NOCO family of employees was profoundly affected by the loss of trees that line our highways and parks….we are pleased to partner with Re-Tree WNY on this effort and offer the ornaments to raise funds to put trees back in Western New York.”
Three other companies that have contributed to get the program funding include National Fuel, UCC Constructors, Inc. of West Seneca and DiPizio Construction Company, Inc. of Cheektowaga.
