To the editor:

We want to express our heartfelt gratitude for the community’s unwavering support of the Lake Placid Volunteer Ambulance Service over the years, particularly during our annual Christmas tree sale. This cherished tradition has brought us together with so many of you.

However, after careful consideration and with heavy hearts, we must inform you that we will not be hosting our Christmas tree sale this year. This decision was not made lightly. As we navigate the ongoing challenges and demands on our resources, we believe it is essential to focus our attention on providing the best care possible to our community.

We understand that this news may come as a disappointment to many, as the tree sale has become a beloved part of our holiday celebrations. Our commitment to serving you remains strong, and we look forward to finding new ways to connect with and support our community in the future.

We wish you and your loved ones a joyful and safe holiday season.

Jim Grant
