Tree of Memories

Encourage colleagues and clients to make a donation, write their dedication on the back of a foil candle and place it on a tree. This is a simple yet effective way to raise much needed funds, and is becoming a popular way of donating money in leiu of sending Christmas Cards.

Contact me for a supply of foil candles and accompanying marketing material.
