How do you make Service Learning fun?  It starts with a project that puts a smile on your face.  The annual Festival of Trees to benefit Women and Children’s Hospital of Buffalo is a joyous event that exudes joy, wonder and design excellence.  A perennial favorite with the Interior Design students at Villa Maria College, this year’s project was a truly collaborative affair.  Pictured above are Harrison Walsh, Jillian Schultz, Kim Ewing and Tara Clack. Our unique wreath display was inspired by the classic Christmas poem, “T’was the Night Before Christmas”.  We had sugar plums and stockings, ornaments and elves a jolly Santa and even a tiny mouse.  To top off the activity we attended the Designer Showcase Reception at the Hyatt Hotel in Buffalo.
