The Angel Giving Tree | The Greystone Inn
Written By: Luke Osteen | Issue: 2021/12 – December
Greystone Inn is inviting people in the Lake Toxaway/Rosman community and across the Plateau to participate in its Angel Tree celebration, which assists local children and disabled seniors.
Lake Toxaway Charities and The Greystone Inn are again joining with Rosman area schools to provide gifts and food for over 200 pre-qualified school children, the elderly and disabled in this third annual Angel Giving Tree celebration.
“This year has continued to be a difficult time for our neighbors struggling to provide basic necessities during Covid and remote learning for students,” says Shannon Ellis, who owns The Greystone Inn with her husband Geoff.
A tax-deductible donation of $250 sponsors a child ages Pre-K through high school. This provides a complete set of new clothing for each student from jackets to shoes and a Christmas stocking filled with needed items such as soap and toothpaste and a small gift. Each child also receives a larger wrapped gift from Santa, and the family gets a food box. If there are other children in the family, your donation provides gifts for them too.
“Staff at the four Rosman-area schools will shop, wrap and deliver the gifts to the students and their families.” says Shannon. “Everyone is invited to visit The Greystone Inn and their Angel Tree from December 3 through December 24. Wooden angel ornaments representing each child will decorate the tree.
“If you’re not able to visit in person, we hope you can support by visiting The Greystone Inn website, click Reserve Now and choose Sponsor an Angel. You can choose the age of your ‘angel’, from school-aged children 4 to 18 or local seniors,” says Shannon. “Holidays are joyous times, and your gift ensures these local children and seniors will know they are not forgotten. Thank you on behalf of the students, their families and our elderly and disabled neighbors, Lake Toxaway Charities and The Greystone Inn. May you have a very joyous holiday season!”
To sponsor, please make check payable to Lake Toxaway Charities and mail check to Lake Toxaway Charities, PO Box 163, Lake Toxaway, NC 28747 or visit www.thegreystoneinn.com

“Please participate and adopt as many angels as you choose,” says Shannon. ”With your check, enclose a note with the age and gender of the children you wish to sponsor if you have a preference. Santa’s elves will select one or more for you from the tree. To adopt a senior, please write ‘senior’ on the ‘for line’ on your check.”
