Update posted 2 years ago

Approximate total so far: $15,890. We would love to hit that $20,000 mark. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. We may have a hometown Christmas after all; lights, trees, banners and more!! My Mama and The Milkman would be so proud of their little town. All of the loved ones  would be proud that their families and town pulled together and made what has been a sad and trying few years, a little happier in their memory. 

Thank you again,

Vicki and Melissa


All funds will go toward Altha Town Christmas decorations. Specifically, funds will be for decorations to go on 16 poles in town along hwy 71and possibly hwy 274 all with city limits. Any extra money will be spent on decorations for Altha Town Hall, the Gazebo and possibly the Altha Library. 

This was originally started as a memorial to Brenda Galloway and Charles A. Waldroff however, you may donate in memory of whomever you like. Vicki Waldroff Fowler approached me to help raise money for new utility pole Christmas decorations for the town of Altha and at the time I could not think of any opportunity that would raise enough funds for such expensive items.  

As some of you know, my mom, Brenda Mears Galloway just passed away at the end of September. She loved all things Christmas; giving, decorations, shopping, family meals and most of all, the meaning behind the holiday. As we were going through all of her Christmas decorations, I thought what if I started a  fund dedicated to this purpose, then I remembered Vicki's request. Today I just threw it out on Facebook and you all responded with such enthusiasm. So, I set up a savings account and this page.  

The decorations for municipalities are sturdy, will last years and are quite pricey (~$1000 ea). For instance, the archangel above is 9ft and costs just over $1400.00. 

We have already had many donations. If you would like to be apart of this cause you can also go directly to CLECU and donate or simply donate here.

This fundraiser will end on 10/31/2021 at midnight in order to order decorations in time for Christmas. 

We are setting our goal higher in hopes to buy some large outdoor Christmas decorations for outside of Town Hall. We will be happy and make good use of whatever you give. Thank you.
