Christmas Already???
For GMAD it is! Girls Make a Difference is proud to
announce that it will be making its very first
appearance at the 2001 Festival of Trees. We will be
decorating a miniature tree (2 feet tall!) and
donating it to the Festival for people throughout the
Quad Cities to see and admire.
If you would like to be part of the decorating
committee, Call Minda at (309) 797-9243 for details.
We will meet on Saturday, Oct. 7, at the Rock Island
Library to decorate the tree. See you there, and see
you at Festival of Trees!
