Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
The 2005 Festival of Trees committee has finalized plans for the first annual Festival of Trees Winter in the Garden Gala Nov. 19 at Stonehenge Country Club.
In addition to dinner and dancing, the evening's activities will feature a silent auction for three necklaces donated by three Warsaw jewelers.
Bill and Susan Allen, Allen's Designs, contributed a 14K two-tone sapphire pendant accented with diamonds on a 20-inch strand of pearls with a 14K gold clasp.
Bob and Diana Bowers and Ben and Raquel Bowers, Bowers Jewelry, donated an 18K white gold Bellari designer channel-set pendant with 1.8 carats of amethyst, accented with diamonds on an 18-inch 14K white gold Franco chain.
Andrew and Rebecca Garrett, Crownover Jewelers, provided a 14K white gold tanzanite and diamond pendant on an 18-inch white gold chain.
The black tie optional event will be the climax of the Festival of Trees, which will be at Town Center Mall (Key Bank Building), in downtown Warsaw, Nov. 16-19.
Tracie Smith Hodson, executive director of the Health Care Foundation of Kosciusko County, said, "All proceeds from the Festival of Trees and the gala will go to support the programs and services of the Health Care Foundation, which are dedicated to healthier babies, better-equipped parents and stronger relationships for all young families in our county."
The cost is $75 per person. Reservations are requested by Friday. For more information, call the foundation, 574-268-2273.
