Auction Items the GIVING TREE

Growing Garden Fundraising Gala February 1, 2014 Auction items THE GIVING TREE Job 14:7 for there is hope for a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its shoots will not cease. Our Giving Tree represents hope for the future. Each donation that you make represents a new branch, twig or flowers on our tree which are, indeed, our children. The more you give, the more the tree can give in return. Your donations provide scholarships for deserving children as well as learning materials for all the children for now and for the future. Donation cards will be available at the Gala to attach to the tree so it can really sprout.
