Even More News:

The Edge has become a tree sponsor for the Eleventh Annual Festival of Trees. We will be decorating a tree with ornaments for either a live or silent auction. The proceeds will benefit the new Health Education Center at Samaritan Pacific Communities Hospital. There are only 20 trees being sponsored for this year’s festival, so we are happy we are able to be a part of this benefit. We will be receiving a 7 foot noble fir to decorate along with 6 sets of 100 white lights. Can you imagine the lights twinkling within those glass ornaments! Fantastic! If any one of you have ornaments you would like to donate, we will be placing mainly, but not limited to, glass ornaments on the tree to represent the gallery. If you have donations for the tree, please bring them to the Gallery before Thanksgiving. We would appreciate your contacting us beforehand to let us know you will be donating so that we will know what to expect in advance. We will be decorating the tree beginning Monday, November 28th and need to know what we will have to work with. Thank you for your generosity in advance.
