Do you feel the fall coming? It’s time to think about this year’s Holiday Celebration on The Avenue of the Fountains. The poinsettia tree A-frames hold but 200 cards; I thought we might get a jump on the season.

The Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association (FHCCA) offers a promotion to early birds. When you join the FHCCA either individually or as a family, the poinsettia donation for the first Honoree is $15 rather than $20. This offer is also for present members of the FHCCA. The balance of the honorees’ cards are at the normal price.

The best way to donate is to go on the FHCCA websites either fhcultural-civic.org or ilovefountainhills.org; click on the poinsettia tree and follow the directions. You can use PayPal and have a record of your tax exempt donation. The other means is to send a check in the proper amount payable to “FHCCA” to Fountain Hills Cultural & Civic Association, P.O. Box18254, Fountain Hills, AZ 85269.

Make a notation on the check of the honoree. Participating in the poinsettia tree is great way for us to retain our sense of community and good will. Your honoree on the card stand beside a 14-foot poinsettia tree adorned with 220 6-inch Poinsettia Plants makes a statement that you are part of something special. Join us; thank you.
