- Do not hang or connect objects to the walls or ceilings.
- Be mindful of heavy objects that are to be adorned to your tree.
- Display a list of wrapped items that will be included with your tree.
- Gift Certificates: Place “ghost” certificates on the tree to insure against loss. Give any cards/ certificates with monetary value to the Boys & Girls Club staff on the day of set-up, so that they may be secured.

- While “vintage” themes are fun and welcome, be mindful that the winner is expecting new or nearly new tree, decorations and gifts. We will refuse any items that appear used, worn or old.
- We are amazed by the generosity of our donors. Please consider wiring to secure your gifts with cellophane so they do not “grow legs” and end up under another tree- trust us it happens! We reserve the right to secure gifts or section off your tree if we deem it necessary.
- We reserve the right to relocate the tree at any point to enhance the display of all our trees.
