Prince George, B.C.-  The Salvation Army  is counting on  the community to  buy a ticket to the Tree of Lights Luncheon  that will take place at the Coast Inn of the North on December 5^th.

The luncheon   is  a fundraising event  made possible through the  collaborative donations of  the Coast Inn, which  provides the staff and the space,  and SaveOn Foods, which provides the food for the event.

“Every penny from every ticket  sold  goes directly to the Salvation Army’s Christmas fund raising initiative” says Salvation Army Business Manager Bill Glasgow.

This is the third  year for the luncheon, and the menu is sure to tempt any palate.

Traditional turkey  with stuffing,  roast pig,  prawns sautéed in garlic butter, salmon en Croute, roast baron of beef au jus  and salads, sides and of course, dessert are all  available   at this special event.

With just 300 tickets available, the luncheon has the potential to pump $9,000 into the Salvation Army’s programs.

Tickets are $30 dollars each and are available at SaveOn food stores in Prince George, as well as the Coast Inn of the North.
