Hartley formally invited and encouraged both organizations to participate in the Festival activities. Both Panhellenic and I.F.C. voted to accept the invitation. Hartley explains that each chapter will decorate a Christmas tree and deliver the tree to The Village at Northrise, a senior citizens residence center, on November 14 for judging. The auction is November 15 at 8 p.m. Each tree will be auctioned at a minimum bid of two-hundred dollars.
Trees are to be artificial and no taller than six feet.
Chapters may decorate at the Village at Northrise from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., or pre-decorate and drop the tree off at the Village. The trees will be judged based on the following categories-Sweepstakes, The Joshua Tree, The Kathleen Tree, Keith's Diamond Award, The Young Executive Award, and The Spirit of Children Award. Several incentives have been enacted in order to rustle up the spirit of positive competition which include a spring break package for two valued at two-hundred and fifty dollars. Also, Walmart will donate a one-hundred dollar gift certificate to the organization that has the winning tree and whose decorations were bought exclusively at Walmart.
