Christmas Tree Ornaments --- Need local artist in the 4th District

I know this is really short notice....

But you get the Christmas Tree Ornaments this week....then sent it back to DC October 1st..
Let me now what you think... e-mail me or call 773/342-0774


As a reminder - Mrs. Bush invited each Member of Congress to submit a name of an artist from his state/district/territory to decorate an ornament that will be displayed on the main White House Christmas tree – the Blue Room tree. Thus far, we have not received an artist’s name from your Member, but because Mrs. Bush and her office want full congressional participation, we have extended the deadline until next Wednesday, August 27, 2008 for submissions.

A few quick details

· Your Member selects an artist to design an ornament that will displayed this holiday season on the Blue Room Christmas tree at the White House

· Your office faxes the name and contact information of the artist to 202-456-3210 NO LATER than Wednesday, August 27, 2008

· Upon receipt of the fax, the artist will receive his ornament (a six-inch round plastic ball that can be decorated in any medium by any method with any design as long as the size of the ornament does not increase tremendously or the images are inappropriate) to decorate.

· The artist must mail the ornament back by October 1, 2008

· Artists who participate and return their ornaments will be invited to the White House during the holiday season to view their design on the Blue Room tree.

Thanks!
