To the editor:

Raves to the whole community of Bainbridge Island for coming to the Boy Scout Troop 1565 Christmas Tree lot and buying up all of our trees! We loved sending you home with the most beautiful trees possible!

Raves to the good folks at Ace Hardware, Kitsap Bank and Key Bank for all of their incredible help and support during the tree season. We LOVE you!

Rants to the Christmas Grinch who wheeled out of our lot in his big 4-by-4 gray diesel truck with four of our trees without paying for them.

Raves to the wonderful folks who read about the loss and came bye with checks and cash to make up for our loss! You are the BEST people ever! Thank you so much!

Raves; to the Troop 1565 boy scouts and especially their parents who worked so hard in the cold, rain, and wind to make this year’s tree lot experience the most successful ever!

Thank you, Bainbridge Islanders. May your Christmas season be filled with joy and happiness!
