The fifth annual Festival of
Trees is history. The decorations
are down, dishes washed and put
away, trees and gifts delivered to
successful bidders, and the plan-
ning for the sixth annual event is
already underway.

“We start with a post-mortem

we camdo differently to make the
next one run even better,” said
Dale Schatz, executive director of
the Selkirk College Foundation.

Meanwhile, Schatz dubbed
this year’s event, held Dec. 2 at

“We raised $18,000 which

Staging the event goes much
