Spreading the Joy Tree - Ready to go!

 

Our Peace, Love and Harmony tree is complete (minus the tree skirt to be added) and will be on its way to the Festival of Trees this week.  If you're in Atlanta, come to the Festival of Trees.  Info here:

https://gafestivaloftrees.org/

The event has so many exciting activities to participate in and enjoy. Our tree, along with hundreds of others, has been donated along with decorated wreathes and table top decor.  Sales of these items and proceeds from the festival benefit the fight against child sexual exploitation.

Thanks to all who contributed items to decorate it including: Jill Healey, Courtney Young, Ryan Gale, Lauren Fahsel, Patty Sammons and Kathryn Gale.  Also thanks to our helpers, Cara and Sammy who helped decorate it. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and
