Dear friends, We’re excited that Westfield Valencia Town Center will be the site for our Festival of Trees for the third year. Our hard-working volunteers are busy putting together some spectacular trees. We hope to see you and your family at the Festival, at one of the two magic shows or at the Magic of the Lights Gala on Nov. 23.
Also please consider making a donation toward our Club Family Trees. Each year the Festival raises money to help purchase trees and gifts for needy Club member families. Visit our website for more information.
Please don’t forget to make a donation to our annual campaign “It Just Takes One”. We still haven’t met our goal for the year, so donations are needed now more than ever. Make your tax-deductible donation online before the end of the year. Remember, Great Futures Start Here. Sincerely,
