Festival Meeting

Thursday was our first big Festival meeting for the year. After the meeting wrapped up we got to take a tour of the Mary Bridge Emergency Room, The PICU and the Helli pad. It was a gorgeous day on Thursday so we were able to get a group shot with the mountain in the background. It is so amazing to see where all the dollars go after putting on such a large scale event! Many of the major remodels, equipment and new buildings have taken place because of Festival.

Last night was inspirational and completely solidified why I do what I do. I am fortunate to be surrounded by so many wonderful women who put their hearts and souls into this event. Every year I learn and grow from their experience, knowledge, guidance and friendship!

Mary Bridge Festival of Trees 2011

Here is the new AWESOME logo for Festival of Trees 2011. The Spirit of Giving is the theme for this year!  I was invited back to be the Gala chair for another year. It is a honor and privilege to be apart of such an awesome event. There is nothing in the world that makes me happier then giving back.

This year we are celebrating 25 years of Festival! How amazing that this event has been carried on for so many years. I am so grateful to be apart of it. I have a great team this year and am looking forward to leading once again.

Festival of Trees 2010

Festival of Trees is fast approaching yet again. I feel like we just wrapped up last year but nope it is here again. Jen and I are doing Gala this year and we are in the thick of it. This years theme is Give the Gift of Hope.



A few weeks ago we got to take some time to go to the tasting. There were many menu choices and by the end of the 2 hrs we were stuffed to the brim but had made some wonderful choices. Here are some pictures of what we got to sample. The final menu is a surprise but I can tell you it will certainly be delicious!!!

No time because it's Festival Time

I will get to blogging next week I have just been super slammed with Festival of Trees. Ladies Night kicks off tonight and it's going to be Awesome. The weekend is jam packed with festivities all to help raise money for our awesome children's hospital. I have been asked why I do it and it's because I have needed the services for my own family and I know there will be hundreds of other families that will need those services someday as well. Raising this money for such an extraordinary event will make this all possible :)

Cheers to Festival!!
Thanks to all of you who donated! We couldn't do it without you :)
