Ecker Center’s eighth annual “Festival of Trees” fund-raiser will be held on November 8, 2008.  Individuals and businesses will sponsor and decorate approximately 25 artificial Christmas trees in heights of 7 and 3 ft.  The trees will be on display at the Gail Borden Library in Elgin from October 27 thru November 7 and available for sale prior to the Gala Event.  The large trees not sold beforehand will then be live auctioned to the highest bidder at the Gala Event on Saturday, November 8 at the Chicago Marriott Northwest in Hoffman Estates.  Save the date!
