BROOKFIELD ZOO COMMUNITY TREE TRIM
In
the CAFFA tradition, we will participate in the Community Tree Trimming
Event at Brookfield Zoo. The event coincides with National Adoption
Awareness Month and provides an excellent opportunity to showcase the
faces of adoption.
A big THANK YOU to Stephanie & Michael
Stomberg and their beautiful children, from Western Springs, for
sponsoring the CAFFA Tree! We truly appreciate their generosity!
Board
Members will be decorating the tree with pictures (turned into
ornaments) of our fabulous families, on November 20th at 3pm. Please
email your pictures to legal@caffa.org by November 14th. We will use all photos that we receive; however, we will be unable to return them to you.
You
are welcome to bring your ornaments / pictures at anytime after the
tree has been set up as well. (The trees will be on display until the
end of the year.) If you choose to bring your own pictures, please be
sure to laminate them, or coat them with durable clear packing tape, so
that they withstand the Chicago winter.
