You are invited...
...to the 12th Annual Festival of Trees Preview Party & Auction on November 20 & 21, 2009, in the Rushmore Hall at the Rushmore Plaza Civic Center.
The Preview Party is an elegant kickoff event to the holiday season. The party begins with the social hour and the exclusive opportunity to view beautifully decorated holiday trees and wreaths. During the Silent Auction, you can bid on a variety of "Stocking Stuffers" to help you with your holiday shopping.
Following dinner and a short program, the highlight of the evening takes place when the live auction conducted by Martin Jurisch begins. Winning bidders have their tree delivered at the conclusion of the weekend festival. At the end of the evening, one lucky guest leaves the event with a diamond necklace from the Festival of Trees jewelry raffle.
Proceeds from all Festival of Trees activities go to help Behavior Management Systems provide services in five areas:
- Children with serious emotional and behavioral problems.
- Adults with major mental illness.
- Suicide intervention.
- Crisis stabilization.
- A substance abuse treatment and prevention program for pregnant women and women with children.
Attendance is limited to 700, so please respond early and join us at this spectacular event. Holiday attire is encouraged.
