"Monday morning we got a call from the rec center saying our tree was vandalized. It was no longer lit and that lights were found with wires cut," said Kathy Enggasser, a member of the Bridesburg Civic Association.They decided to put up a Christmas tree this year, but then the vandalism happened. "It's been a nuts couple of days. A couple people offered to pay the entire expense of getting it redone. That's the kind of community it is," said Jacqueline DeSanctis, also known as "Miss Jackie."She wasn't surprised by what happened next - The Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 98 stepped in.As for who might be responsible for all of the damage, Engasser has her suspicions.
"The tree brings so much hope and faith to everybody," Enggasser said. "We just want them to understand you did more than damage a tree.
