Kris Forbes, Foothill Auxiliary member and chair of the Holidays on a High Note event, anticipates the excitement and energy that come every year: "Holidays on a High Note is such a special event. It helps kick off the holiday season and offers fresh, inspiring ideas for anyone who is responsible for the holiday decorating. Our membership is always excited that this fun event raises money for Peninsula Family Service and the incredible programs it runs to help Peninsula residents of all ages." The annual sell-out event will bring together designers whose tablescapes are sure to inspire attendees, including Bay Area businesses such as Shelby's Garden and Place Bellecour of San Carlos, Petals by Cary of Redwood City and Classic Party Rentals of Burlingame.
