Ms. Jasmin,
First off allow me to apologize for my tardy response. 
By all means Chicago’s Christmas Ship Committee is interested in your participation in our annual event. Any trees that would come from Thompson would be given special acknowledgement as such and would be earmark for special use. We have a formal ceremony where three families who are chosen to represent all recipient families are presented with trees. This could be an ideal way to spotlight trees from Thompson. There are also trees that are decorated flanking the barding area of the ship and at places of honor on the ship.
Further, I would appreciate incorporating historical information from your perspective into our educational outreach curriculum. Recommendations on accessing any local resources would also be helpful. I would also be interested in any other ideas you may have.
We look forward to working with you. Please feel free to contact me at any time at home 847-297-0755 or my cell 312-405-0755.
Sincerely,
CAPT George Lisner
Chairman, Executive Committee
