VOTING GUIDELINES

- People may visit as many times as they want to vote – but no more than one visit per day.
- Each visit, a person gets up to 3 votes – and they can use their votes however they wish. For example, on a visit they might want to use all 3 votes for the same tree, or they may divide their votes between 2 or 3 trees
“The tree contest really is a fun experience for our residents. But we also do a lot of good with this, by giving back to area nonprofits,” said Alan Tutterow, executive director of Well•Spring, A Life Plan Community. “Please come out to Well•Spring and take advantage of this special holiday setting and vote for your favorite tree.”
