Please SAVE THE DATE for the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) “Festival of Trees” Gala Dinner on Saturday, November 24th, 2012.

The Festival of Trees is CCMI’s principal annual fundraising event. It celebrates our year’s work in research, education, and conservation while raising funds to support the operational needs of the Little Cayman Research Center.

The money raised at the FOT underpins CCMI’s very existence by helping to maintain and develop their research station that is at the epicenter of CCMI’s work.

CCMI will auction a collection of Christmas Trees sponsored and decorated by local businesses. The trees will be displayed at Camana Bay for a week before they are auctioned during the gala dinner.

The Festival of Trees 2012 will be launched on the 19 November with a Christmas tree decorating workshop and school carol event, culminating in the gala dinner and auction on 24 November, when Camana Bay restaurants Abacus, KARoo, The Black Trumpet, Ortanique and Michael’s Genuine will each prepare one of the courses.
