GOOD SAMARITAN NETWORK (GSN) of Hamilton County, Inc., a local
nonprofit 501c3 organization, announces a favorite tradition for
Hamilton County residents this Holiday season. Join us for our 4th
Annual Hamilton County FESTIVAL OF TREES. While the FESTIVAL OF
TREES idea itself is not new, it is a relatively new community
holiday tradition for Hamilton County and will be
held Saturday, November 18, 6pm. The doors open with a preview
at 5pm and cocktails at 5:15pm. This year’s event will take
place at the beautiful Bridgewater Country Club in CARMEL (3535 E
161st St, CARMEL, IN 46033). The evening includes a dinner, a keynote
speaker, Wil Hampton, and an auction of various items will be held,
including exquisitely custom designed Christmas TREES, Wreaths and
Table Centerpieces, as well as various items (paintings, artwork,
etc.) - hand decorated by local designers specifically as
fundraising pieces. Proceeds from this fundraising evening will be
directed for Good Samaritan Network’s signature Holiday
Assistance program - which annually assists thousands of Hamilton
County residents with Holiday food, clothing and toys and provides hot
meals on Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Eve. FAQs Registration types
When you click “REGISTER” you will have two choices for
registration types: Individual Selecting "INDIVIDUAL" registration you
will be able to register a maximum of two (2) registrations. Designers
will be able to register a maximum of two (2) registrations. Group
Selecting "GROUP" registration you will be able to register a minimum
of two (2) and a maximum of eight (8) for a named group. For more than
8 registrations, simply return, register and create another similarly
named group (ex: Johnny Appleseed Grp_Table 2, 3, 4, etc). See Group
registration details below. RSVP and Ticket types After selecting
"REGISTER" you make your RSVP/Ticket type selection: General or
Individual RSVP - you are not a sponsor or the guest of a sponsor,
and you are not a designer for FOT Sponsor RSVP - you, or a sponsor
hosting a table, have already signed up previously for a specific
sponsorship level, or you are registering as an invited guest by one
of the sponsors Designer RSVP - you are an approved/registered
designer for FOT GSN Donation - you are making an end of the year
donation to support the work of GSN How can I register with a
group/table? Someone (the buyer who becomes the group manager) from
your organization/group must create a "named" group (ex: Johnny
Appleseed Grp_Table 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.). Anyone will then be able to
search for the name of the created group in order to register. Be sure
the group name is the correct one since you will be seated according
to that sign-up. Group registration details Named Groups are managed
by the organization/group manager (the person who created the group).
The group manager will be able to see who signed up for the group and
they will be able to invite others and communicate with group members.
Selecting “GROUP” registration can be used for creating your own
“table” as general public/individuals (max 8 per table) interested
in being seated together. Selecting "GROUP" registration will be
required for ALL sponsorship RSVP/registrations, and you were invited
by the sponsor. Group Managers - (including General Group Managers and
Sponsored Guest/Group Managers) – are those who create a named
group. Once you create a named group and you register, you will be
able to invite others to register with your named group (via a
button/link) at any time, until you reach the maximum number of
registrations allowed (8/per table/group). Calculating Group
Registration At Check Out - If you order/register for a pre-existing
named group it will automatically calculate the number of remaining
registrations left for that group/table (8/per table/group). Selecting
“checkout” will not work until you select/adjust for the correct
number of remaining registrations available for that table/group. When
you select the number of people in your group – you will be able to
register each person as part of a named group. A named group will be
able to be seated together at one table (max 8 per table). (ex: Johnny
Appleseed Grp_Table 1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) All Reservations/Groups with
less than 8 will be included in mixed registrations/tables due to
space and seating limitations. Payment After choosing "Tickets” and
then “Checkout,” attendees choose their payment method and
complete the registration process. Online (PayPal) Use your personal
credit/debit card or PayPal account. This is the default for immediate
payment. Simply select “PayPal Account” or select “PayPal Guest
Checkout.” Offline (Check/Invoice) At the bottom of the check-out
page simply select “show” under “Other payment options” for
“Check" or "Invoice” payment. Be sure to hit the "Check" or "Send
Invoice" button. Checks should be issued within 30 days or not less
than 10 days before the event date. The "memo" field should indicate
