Festival of Trees

If you go to the Festival of Trees in Sandy, UT make sure you pick up some of our CDs. All the money goes to the Primary Children's Hospital. Keith and I have a real soft spot in our hearts for that hospital after staying there a week with our little boy in 2004. I can't imagine not having good insurance and having to deny my child the benefit of good health care. I am so grateful for charity events like this that raise money for children who need it.

Pennies by the Inch is another excellent way to give money to the hospital. In Utah most people get a knock on the door from church groups asking for donations to this charity. I was in charge of this at one time. Most people give a handful of pennies and while every bit helps I wonder if people know that the goal is to raise a lot more than pennies. When the volunteers come by they have envelopes you can take and mail in your donation if you prefer. I KNOW most volunteers don't mention that so keep that in mind and mail in a larger donation.

Here is the box I gave for the festival today. I recommended they sell our Santa Claus CD for $3 instead of the current sale of $5 or the regular price of $7. I also recommended the sell a package of 3 CDs (Family, Flower Patch and Santa Claus) for $30 rather than $47. It's a great deal so go buy them!
