Festival of Trees need help!!

Dear Sisters

I am writing on behalf of my mother who has a hard time asking for help. She has been a member of the festival of trees board for 5 years now and this year she has lost most of her committee members do to them having other commitments or new baby's and not having time. What she needs is committee members a full committee is 10 we are sitting at 3 being on the committee you need to be able to donate or gather 10 items for the gift boutique, you do not have to make others can make for you or if you want to buy, these can be hand-made cards, quilts, I-spy pillows (these fly of the shelf's), play things for children, crafts, this year my mom is thinking about making little girl Tutu's, you need to be able to host/hostess 2-3 shifts the more people we have the less time you have to spend hosting the last two years we have worked in kiddie land, There is also a committee gift we normally tie a quilt as a group but, if any one has any other ideas we are open to change, and pre-sale tickets these are discounted tickets for you to sale to your family and friends, and last but not least for the small fry they give out assignments to each committee of some thing to make this year we got gingerbread boy finger puppets which my son and me are willing to put together as these are time consuming to do. Committing to the committee is time consuming but, has great rewards you get to go on bid night for the official lighting of the trees, you can help deliver trees the Sunday after the festival and watch people as they receive there trees and yes you get to help put it up (some of these people don't even know the tree is coming). If you have the time and want to jump in and help please let us know by emailing me or calling. If you don't have the time but would love to help you can work one shift maybe or have something you want to donate for the boutique or even if you just want some of those discount tickets anything please email me. We are also looking for donations for the finger puppets we need brown felt small white Ric Rac, small wiggle eyes, and small white pom-poms. Email address is tiggernlsn@gmail.com thank you ahead of time from me and my mom Sherri Nelson.
