Festival of Trees 2009

Hello friends..

You are going to think that this is early in the game but I am just being efficient! This year I was recruited to work on the Festival of Trees which is a huge fundraiser for Mary Bridge Children's Hospital(2 million dollar event). The event is sponsored by community volunteers and the Tacoma Orthopedic Association. I feel very passionate about the hospital and all it does given that I have 2 little ones that have used the facilities many times (hopefully not much more in the future). There are many little ones that need our help to receive the care and services necessary to function as healthy children. Some day it could be your little ones!

My job this year is co-chair of the Jingle Bell Jam(Saturday December 5,2009). This is an evening of dinner, auction and dancing. At this time I am in search of items that could be auctioned off. It could be something small and simple to something even bigger. Services, boat rides, trips, massages etc. If you don't personally have something that would be of value then you may know somebody that does. I know this seems really early but once the bug is in your ear it may open up a procurement opportunity for the event.

If you do have an item or have a contact number for somebody that does please direct them to me and I will be happy to speak with them. Also if you do not have an item maybe you would be interested in volunteering? If so there is plenty to do and we would be more then happy to have you. There are open positions on the committee but you could also just help the week of the event. NO help will be refused!

I will be procuring thru the summer and fall so if anything crosses your path to give I will take it!

Thanks so much and I look forward to hearing from you!!!
