Festival of Trees

Me and my friend Jenny volunteered at the festival of trees wednesday night. Once we got off work we headed straight out there, by the time we got there we could only volunteer for about two hours. We worked in "The Sweet Shop" behind the Scenes. We helped put together some plates of chocolate, saran wrap them, and price them. We were talking with a lady Jenny knows who is on the committee every year. She said she works a full time job and every year she saves up her vacation time to volunteer at the Festival of Trees. She goes and picks things up in the morning starting around 7am then works at the Festival of Trees from 9am until about 11 at night. I'm sure many of the other volunteers are the same way. I was talking to her about the money they make from The Sweet Shop and she said 100% of the profits go to Primary Children's and that a lot of businesses will donate all the ingredients to make all the treats! So everything is 100% donation and volunteer. I'm sure most people know that..but i didn't and I thought it was awesome! I don't know about most people but I don't think I would be willing to use my own vacation time and still continue to work long hours without getting paid. It's good to know there are still some good hearted people out there! Last year they raised $1.5 million for Primary Children's do it really does go to a good cause.
