As an Ambassador for the Fort Myers Beach Chamber of Commerce, our Vice President, Erin Beasley, joined in helping to create a special Christmas tree for the annual Woman’s Club Christmas Tree Festival.
After the Woman’s Club’s building was damaged beyond repair, it was thought the event would be canceled; however a boutique owner on Anna Maria Island offered a fun idea for us to work with. So the event was restructured for this year.
The FMB Chamber has created a Wine Tree for the past few years, and followed that tradition this year with wine crates, including mini wine bottles for a tree topper. All the donated trees are auctioned off, with proceeds going back to the organization that donated it. The FMB Chamber tree raised $600 from this event.
