It’s the most wonderful time of the year.
Before you know it the holiday season will be upon us and with that comes the Morongo Basin’s favorite holiday fundraiser, the Annual Festival of Wreaths held by Copper Mountain College Foundation on the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The wreath has been used symbolically for centuries and has evolved into a sign of welcoming and an acknowledgment of holiday cheer for this season that emphasizes generosity, giving, and the gathering of loved ones. It seems only appropriate that we kick off the season with local businesses, service clubs, and individuals creating fantastical wreaths, centerpieces, and ornaments to be auctioned off to raise money for CMC students. The wreaths are not only gorgeous but also are full of gift cards and certificates, jewelry, electronics, and more!
Want to create a wreath for this year’s event? Contact the Foundation office at shutson@cmccd.edu or 760-366-3791 ext 4200. The wreaths will be on display around town for two weeks prior to the event, then it culminates in a lively auction in the Bell Center Gymnasium at 6162 Rotary Way, Joshua Tree on Sunday, November 19, 2023. Doors open at 2 pm to view the unique creations with bidding beginning at 3 pm. Tickets are $10 to the event.
