Sales of Christmas trees at the Menlo Park Kiwanis Club lot are “better than ever” this year, says club member Judy Horst, and the last shipment of trees has arrived.
Located on the Stanford campus on El Camino Real, just south of Embarcadero Road and across from Palo Alto High School, the Kiwanis lot is open daily until Christmas or until all trees are sold.
Hours are 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. daily and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends.
The Christmas tree lot is a tradition of more than 40 years, she says. It’s the biggest fundraiser for the club, which gives to local community organizations and funds scholarships for Menlo-Anterton High School graduates.
The club supports Special Games for physically challenged youth, Rebuilding Together, St. Anthony’s Padua Dining Hall, Tour de Cure of Diabetes, and Key Club of Menlo-Atherton High School.

This year the Menlo Park Kiwanis Club received support from many parts of the community. Volunteers included Casey Stratton, Boy Scout Troop 64 in Portola Valley; Kiwanis member Dan Bajada and his 4-year-old Bernese mountain dog Jack; Sophie Stratton, a scout mom; Lance Vaughan, scout master; Duncan Vaughan, Boy Scout Troop 64; and Menlo-Atherton football players Feleti Malupo and David Tafuna. They helped visitors to the lot find trees and get them home — even fixing them to the top of cars and delivering trees to nearby homes and offices.
