This year as an FSA Board we have been working hard to increase adoption awareness in our community. As part of our efforts we have decided to participate in the Evergreens Fundraiser, which is similar to the Festival of Trees, but on a smaller level. Our chapter is going to donate a decorated tree to be auctioned off at their yearly Christmas Tree Auction and Fundraiser with all proceeds going towards Safe Harbor Crisis Center, a shelter in our community for victims of domestic violence.
More information about the fundraiser can be found at their website: http://www.evergreensfundraiser.org/register.html.
We are excited to do this! The theme for our tree is "Tell Me Your Story" based on children's adoption books.
The vision of the tree is cut up pages of the books, framed and made into ornaments, as well as handprints of adopted children. The main colors are burgundy, green, creamy white, yellow, and blue.
We are asking any of you that are able to donate items or your time to please help us in this project as it is a big undertaking!
Here are the list of items we need:
-Vinyl
-Wood Blocks
-Clear, Glass ornaments
-Ribbon
-Wire
-Children's Adoption books
-Wooden ABC Blocks
-Kid's Toys
-Other toys: rag dolls, trains, airplanes
-A Rocking Chair
-An Angel Tree Topper
-Tree Skirt or Fabric to make a tree skirt
-Extension Cord
We are planning a FAMILY NIGHT ACTIVITY to collect and assemble crafts for the tree on MONDAY, OCTOBER 24th at 7 pm at the Church on 3161 W 150 N in Layton.
Our activities committee has some fun Halloween activities planned for the night as well and children are welcome to wear their costumes if they want.
