Happy October, past and present Festival of Trees Designers!

THANK YOU to those who've already expressed an interest in helping to create TABLE TRIMMINGS to be sold at FESTIVAL OF TREES 2015!

Not familiar with this area? Table Trimmings are attractive centerpieces for sale at Festival on a cash and carry basis. Each centerpiece is unique and handcrafted especially for Festival of Trees by generous volunteers.

Marlene Marolf, Table Trimmings Chair, will be holding hours in the Table Trimmings workspace for DROP-IN DESIGNING a couple of times in the next few weeks:

Saturday, October 17

10 am - 4 pm

Wednesday, October 21

1 - 4 pm

Designing will take place at the Table Trimmings workspace at 1718 2nd Avenue in downtown Rock Island - right across the street from Quad City Arts!

**We are also looking for design materials - sleds (and other containers), florals, greens, focal point items (Santa's, snowmen, etc.). Donations can be dropped off at Quad City Arts (1715 2nd Avenue) weekdays between 10 am - 5 pm and on Saturdays between 11 am - 5 pm.

Are you interested in helping out on one of these dates? Are you interested in helping out, but would prefer to come at a different time? Are you interested in helping out, but would prefer to design in the comfort of your home? All of these options are possible! Contact Marlene by phone at 563-391-9621 or by email at gourddzn@aol.com

As today is the official FIRST DAY OF FALL, we hope some of you have FESTIVAL OF TREES on your mind - we certainly have YOU on OURS!

 

Festival is seeking talented designers to help create TABLE TRIMMINGS to be sold at Festival of Trees. Not familiar with this area?

Are you a past designer and interested in expressing your Christmas creativity without the commitment of designing?

Are you a present designer and looking for an extra outlet for your holiday imagination?

Marlene Marolf, Table Trimmings Chair, would love to hear from you! She can be reached by phone at 563-391-9621 or by email at gourddzn@aol.com.

Table Trimmings creation workshops will be held mainly on Tuesday afternoons and evenings at the Table Trimmings workspace in downtown Rock Island, right across the street from Quad City Arts! Other worktimes can be coordinated with Marlene as well.

Are you interested in helping out, but would prefer to design in the comfort of your home? We'll provide the materials!

Contact Marlene (information above) with any questions you have.
