Community Memorial Museum of Sutter County is hosting its annual fundraising gala Trees & Traditions on Saturday, December 3rd from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. The Museum gallery will be decked with garlands and 6-foot wreaths of fresh greenery, and the centerpiece will be the 16-foot decorated tree. Lavish hors d’oeuvres will be accompanied by wine and champagne. The MARKS Ensemble will provide festive music.

Small decorated trees and a variety of gifts, donated by businesses and individuals, will be awarded to drawing winners. An opportunity will be available to bid on special gifts in both a silent auction and, for the first time, a live auction. All proceeds benefit the operation of the Museum.

Guests at the gala will be the first to use the brand new Ettl Hall meeting room, where coffee and desserts will be served. Ettl Hall, situated just behind the Museum, will serve the Museum for needed program space, as well as being available for rental to the community.

Tickets for Trees & Traditions are available at the Community Memorial Museum and from any Museum Commissioner for $45 per person. For more information, call the Museum at 822-7141.
