The Mill Casino • Hotel and The Bay Area Rotary Club invite you to celebrate the upcoming holiday season at The 2011 Festival of Trees November 22- December 1, 2011. Businesses, organizations and individuals have an opportunity to help families in need while demonstrating their holiday-decorating talents.

This annual holiday-themed event raises funds for local charities. Last year’s event raised over $14,000 for local charities. This year’s goal is to raise $16,000 for such charities as Shots for Tots and Teens and The Women’s Safety and Resource Center and Coddington Place.

Participants simply choose to sponsor a tree, a wreath or pre-decorated tree by November 1, or while available trees last. Then, at 4 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 21 sponsors bring their chosen decorations to The Mill Casino’s Salmon Room for the annual Festival of Trees Decorating Party, complete with complimentary refreshments and holiday tunes.

Following the decorating party, a panel of judges will award the top choice in the following categories: Most Traditional, Most Elegant, Best Theme, Best Wreath, Judge’s Choice and, of course, Best of Show. The decorated trees and wreaths will be placed on display throughout the hotel lobby through Dec. 1.

On Sunday, Nov. 27, Rotary will sponsor a family viewing day to encourage families to come in and look at the trees from 1-4 p.m. Santa will be on hand and refreshments will be served.

Each tree and wreath will be auctioned off to the highest bidder during a public auction that begins promptly at 7 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 1 in The Mill’s Salmon Room. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. to allow potential bidders to take one more look at the trees.

The fully decorated trees will be delivered (up to 30 miles away) to the winning bidder’s home or office by a member of the Bay Area Rotary. Auction winners may request to have their tree donated to a needy family.

The Mill Casino • Hotel contributes to the purchase of the trees and wreaths so that sponsorship and auction proceeds from the Festival of Trees can go directly to local charities. In addition, local vendors are used when purchasing trees and wreaths for this Bay Area fundraiser.

Businesses, organizations and individuals interested in helping those in need are encouraged to participate by sponsoring and/or decorating a tree and/or wreath. To learn more about how to get involved with this event, contact Festival Coordinator, Debbie Webb at 541-808-1969.

The Bay Area Chamber of Commerce (BACC) is a non-profit, professional organization made up of the Coos Bay, North Bend and Charleston business communities (Oregon’s Bay Area).  Businesses in the Bay Area increasingly endorse the Chamber of Commerce and we continue to be recognized as a vital link between the Cities, State and regional parties of leadership, and act as the promoting entity for community spirit within the Bay Area.

Founded in 1980, the BACC was created from a merger of the Coos Bay and North Bend Chambers. With over 650 members, the Chamber’s strength lies in the number and diversity of its membership. The activities of the BACC vary in response to the needs of the business community. Much of the Chamber’s work is accomplished through the volunteered time and efforts of its members, primarily through committees, providing community leadership in the areas of economic development, government affairs, leadership development, natural resources, tourism and transportation. The Chamber also manages the Coos Bay Visitor Center, greeting over 36,000 visitors and responding to approximately 23,000 requests for information annually.
