Ornament Extravaganza!!! That was the title I created for a series of volunteer events at work to create ornaments, leading up to the setting up of a Christmas tree at the Phoenix Children's Hospital.Several weeks back I received an e-mail from the PCH who was looking for groups or companies to help decorate a number of Christmas trees. The groups would donate the decorations for them and decorate the tree on the first Saturday of December, with a special request, if able, to donate the tree to go along with the decorations, as some of the current trees they have were starting to look old.
After bringing up this event as a volunteer opportunity to my work group, and with budget to spend before the end of the year, I was given the green light to make the arrangements to participate. In addition to this event, we decided to create an on-site volunteer event tied to this. So up came the 'Ornament Extravaganza' to create handmade ornaments that would adorn the tree.
With the help of a few people I was able to get everything needed for the on-site volunteer event; from the supplies to sending out communications in addition to getting the needed conference room booked and secured for three days. And so, from November 30th to December 2nd, we handcrafted, from kits, some of the ornaments for the tree.On Saturday, December 4, 2010, a team of volunteers from work got together to help setup one of the many Christmas trees that are set up around the Phoenix Children's' Hospital. It was a great turnout and we had a great time decorating the tree.
