Several years ago, contributors to the Reading-North Reading Chamber of Commerce helped us buy 24" heavy duty red bows to decorate the light posts in downtown Reading for the Holidays (The Chamber also provides the garland).

After enduring weeks and weeks of winter weather during the holiday season, the bows have reached the end of their useful lives. It time to replace them.

The Chamber is asking for donations from the local community to help keep downtown Reading festive looking by purchasing new replacement bows. The cost of the bows is approximately $75 each. There are over 80 lamp posts to be decorated.

Can you help?

We are suggesting donations at different levels from $25 to $100 dollars. There is no limit to how many times you can donate.
