Come Vote for the League's Tree and Enjoy Music and Holiday Cheer!

For the first time, LWVFC is entering a tree in Holiday Tree Fest, the annual VPIS celebration that raises money for local nonprofits. Each nonprofit decorates a themed holiday tree, and the trees are sold through a silent auction with proceeds going directly to each organization. It’s a festive way to support our League.

Our provisional theme is Celebrating Civic Engagement and the Little City. Our wonderful high school interns and members of the new Mustang Voters club are designing the tree, making ornaments, and will decorate.  Please see examples of previous trees at the VPIS link at the end of this article. Liza has volunteered to create a tree skirt. 

Two ways you can support the activity: 

Come see the trees on Friday, December 4 from 5 to 9 PM or Saturday, December 5 from 11 AM to 9 PM. 

Bring your friends and family to the 4 P’s for live holiday music and a festive meal, and encourage folks to bid on our tree in the Silent Auction and also vote for the League’s tree! The People’s Choice winner takes home an extra $500, and second place earns $250. Every vote counts! We'll also share FC LWV membership and support information at the display. 

Donations Needed

We’re collecting new or gently used items for our tree. Everything donated goes home with the auction winner as part of the tree. Since it’s a modest 4-foot tree, smaller items work best.

• 4 foot artificial tree and stand 

• Small strands of lights

• Small shiny ornaments or stars

• Garland or satin ribbon

• Ornament hooks

• Star or other tree topper

• Any small Little City paraphernalia that could be fashioned into an ornament or added to garland

Please bring donations to the Book Exchange this Sunday, November 8. You can also contact Jennifer Tabola at 202-604-3795 or jtabola@lwvfallschurch.net. If you have additional ideas, please reach out. We need all donations by Wednesday, November 11 (Veterans Day).
