Several boys and girls gathered last year to help trim the community tree in the main lobby of UCSF Medical Center. |
This event is free and open to the public.
More than 60 vendors will convene to sell their goods, which run the gamut from original artwork, fashion and fashion accessories, jewelry, holiday ornaments and crafts to clothes, handmade soaps, bath items and toys.
See's candies also will be on sale while supplies last. In addition, gift certificates, including those for Macy's and Pasta Pomodoro, will be available for purchase and make great stocking stuffers.
Importantly, a portion of the proceeds supports future Campus Life Services Arts & Events and activities. For more information on these events, call 415/476-2675.
Tree Trimming
Volunteer Services at UCSF Medical Center will host the 7th Annual Tree Trimming Party on Friday, Dec. 8 from 9 a.m. to noon. in the Main Medical Center Lobby on the Parnassus campus.
Faculty, staff, students, visitors and patients are invited to bring in an ornament to hang on the community tree or just stop by to spread some holiday cheer with colleagues during this yearly heart-warming event.
As an added treat, pre-school children who attend the Marilyn Reed Child Care Study Center will sing holiday tunes at 10:15 a.m.
