TIEs Travels

Hi!”   I’m TIE the Traveling Tree!
(Transforming Individuals Everyday)

TIE KICKOFF
Ben Dopp, TIE, and Goodwill CEO, Thom Feurig introducing Christmas in July at Spirits of Bacchus. Tom is placing the initial ornament from Goodwill on TIE.

Whew!  I am one very busy little tree!  So many great organizations to visit between now and November 26, when I join my fellow fir friends at the spectacular 2010 Festival of Trees to be held at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in Fort Myers. 

Don’t let my good looks fool you.  I am working hard spreading holiday cheer, gathering really cool ornaments and raising funds to help very special people in our community through the Southwest Florida Goodwill Foundation. 

After my whirlwind Southwest Florida fall tour, I will be entertaining children and
their families at the Festival of Trees, November 26 - December 3. 
Then, to top it all off, at the elegant Tux and Trees Gala on December 4, guests will have the opportunity to adopt me and give me a great home for the holidays! 
I definitely have the best job in town!

I would love to come visit your organization.
Call my agent at the number below and book me for a special engagement
through the “You’ve Been Decorated” campaign.

Happy Holidays and thanks!
TIE

PS- If you’re wondering how I got the name “TIE,” It stands for “Transforming Individuals Every day.”  That’s the mission of Goodwill—and the reason I’m excited to represent the Festival of Trees!
