18 By Julie Holt, Kootenai Health Foundation president The 30 th annual Festival of Trees will certainly be a time for celebration. As the community comes together to support the growth and expansion of health care facilities and services in our region, it is important for us to take stock of all that has been accomplished.

As we enter this season of giving and reflection on years past, instead of measuring your gifts in dollars, hours or Festival ofTrees Events All events are held at the Coeur d’Alene Resort Convention Center.
