> At your SU meetings I announced the open house at the G.R. Ford Museum to celebrate the trees and was led to believe that the tree lighting ceremony would be part of that. GSMISTS will be attending the open house on Sunday, December 6, where we will be hosting a recruiting table for adults and girls. However the tree lighting is this week Thursday. I've combined Rockford SUs update with the museum website details. Please see below.

> Annual Outdoor Tree Lighting Ceremony
> Thursday, November 19, 2009 7:00 p.m.
> GRAND RAPIDS -- Join in the fun as the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum lights up the Grand with its annual holiday display of trees and holiday lights. Also lighted will be the Children's Tree located inside the burial site of President Ford. This towering blue spruce was given to President and Mrs. Ford for their 45th wedding anniversary. A sing-a-long, refreshments and free admission to the Museum following the event will be included.
> From Rockford SU: This Thursday (11/19) is the Tree Lighting Ceremony at 7:00 p.m. in the museum plaza area near the entrance. Everyone is invited. The ceremony begins OUTSIDE at 7:00 p.m. and then we are let in at 7:30 to view the trees. So dress warmly. The Salvation Army will be there with cocoa and cookies for the reception. Also, if anyone wants to come and see the trees, its free if you're not going to go through the whole museum. The trees will be on display through Christmas break.

> FREE ADMISSION
> GRAND RAPIDS -- Once again the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum will open its doors from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. inviting one and all to celebrate the holiday season. This year will include a visit from Santa and Mrs. Claus - along with a few of his reindeer! Holiday music will be provided throughout the afternoon by local choirs.

> We would love to have Girl Scouts in uniform at both of these events. First, each is free - and that's like winning the grand prize in this economy, and second, your girls will be showing their support of others' efforts while having fun. Win-Win!
