Decorating will begin on December 4 and should be completed by December 7. Any person, group or business who can assist with decorating is asked to call 706-678-7060 to sign up for a room, house, or whatever they would like to do.

Donations will be appreciated and requests are for red or white candles (12" tapers), ribbon (red, gold, white, and blue), bow maker, glass or brass candleholders (pairs), poinsettias, florist wire, picks, silver or gold glitter, and Elmer's glue.
