The 2015 White House Christmas ornament honors the administration of
Calvin Coolidge, who served as the thirtieth president of the United States,
from 1923 to 1929. A depiction of the first National Christmas tree, crafted
from shiny brass and plated with nickel and 24k gold, is illuminated from
within and hung with ornaments representing the events of Coolidge’s unique
life and presidency.
The sweeping banner anchoring the tree reads “White House Christmas
2015” on the front and “1923 Calvin Coolidge 1929” on the back. Tucked
discretely on the back of the ornament is the switch for the new LED light
feature included in this year’s design.
The White House Ornaments are a fundraiser of the Catoctin Area Civitan
Club, who will use the proceeds for research on Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s,
Autism Spectrum Disorders, and other syndromes of the brain, supporting
people in our area who have developmental disabilities and providing support
to meet other needs in our community.
To order your ornaments, please contact Nancy Shaffer by email at
[email protected] or by phone at 301-676-9752 or 301-271-3202. Each
ornament is just $25.00 and comes in a lovely box that is easily mailed.
