Join us for our 25th year of festival celebrations.
Meredith Altrusa VIRTUAL Festival of Trees
How? Come right back here starting December 6th
The Festival will go on from December 6th - December 16th
The following information is to let you know how each of the 3 activities can be accessed
- Activity #1: Enjoy a spectacular online slideshow of magical trees. Experience (an abbreviated) Festival history with trivia and trees since 1996. At the end of the slideshow, you will see three of our most memorable trees selected to represent three local non-profits (Inter-Lakes Christmas Fund, Isaiah Café 61, and the Inter-Lakes K-12 PTO. Please vote on your favorite of these three trees with a donation. We will match your donation, dollar for dollar (up to $1,000 per tree). Vote on one or all three! Your donations, matched by Altrusa, will be distributed at the end of our event to each of these non-profits. Exactly how to vote/donate will be explained on our website beginning December 6th.
Activity #2 - “Hands on”: You will find two Giving Trees, one displayed at Meredith Hannaford and the other at E.M. Heath Supermarket in Center Harbor. Select an ornament with “giving” instructions or suggestions on the back. Help us help others with creative giving!
Activity #3) ENTER TO WIN! This is our “thank you event”! The larger the donation, the greater chance you have to win from a selection of five spectacular gift baskets, including our 25th Anniversary “Mystery Basket”. Watch for photos, an itemized listing per basket, and how to enter on our website beginning December 6th. Donations must be received by December 14th. The drawing will be held on December 16th, and winners notified the following day by phone and/or email.

OUR SISTER HELEN ROBINSON
November 6, 1930 - January 13, 2020
Helen joined Altrusa in October 1989.
Helen was a friend, a mentor and an inspiration to anyone who met her. She was involved with many causes throughout her life and gave her time and talent to all of them. Her intelligence, grace, leadership, compassion, sense of humor and her never ending curiosity are why it was a joy to be around her. Helen had a strong belief that because of all the tech devices today we are losing the art of communicating with one another eye to eye. She spread joy to all who knew her and that is why so many have said:
"I want to be Helen when I grow up."
