Civic Opportunities
- FESTIVAL OF TREES
This is
a fun-filled day of volunteering. The Orlando Museum of Art sponsors a
week of activities displaying Christmas trees and wall hangings decorated by
professional designers and/or organizations. Miscellaneous Christmas
decorations, children’s activities, a visit from Santa, carolers performing,
and many other events throughout the week bring a large crowd to the museum.
All funds raised support the Museum of Art throughout the year.
Chapter members volunteer to be hostesses directing visitors, staff the
Christmas Store, assist children with arts and crafts, serve food, etc.
Members have fun and spend a lot of money. This is one of the
Chapter's most favorite volunteer opportunities.
