I had the opportunity to enjoy the Festival of Trees at the Soccer Hall of Fame last night during Executive Service Corps' 'Celebration of Service.' The event honored Elena's Sweet Indulgences and the West Kortright Centre, both of whom have been clients of ESC for many years. You can enjoy the festival this weekend, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, with free admission to the museum thanks to some very generous supporters. Info: Festival of Trees.
