In November, the Michigan State Council contributed three decorated trees as part of the Festival of Trees fundraiser for the Children's Hospital of Michigan Foundation. As far as I know, the trees that we submitted were priced at $50 apiece. The Blue and Gold tabletop tree was sold when I was volunteering the last day of the event. I never saw the Sun tabletop tree so I am assuming that it was sold before the last two days of the event. I don't know about the outcome of the Zoo Animal tree, but I do know that it was very well received.

Thank you, all, who contributed your time and effort or any ornaments. Thank you, also, to all who volunteered at this charity event. I know for certain that the Festival's management was impressed. However, I haven't heard from Denise McDonald, in charge of the trees, about the end results or how much money was raised. I do know that they were elated to sell all the tall decorated trees.

Finally, I just want to say: Keep giving your support and keep representing ESA!
