I know we have alot of DC members I am hoping to get a glimpse of cherry blossoms. I found a link and thought it was cool that you can donate to plant a tree that is a jewish tradition too. It is a jewish holiday called Tu Bishvat it is the equivelent to our Arbor Day. I think it is a wonderful tradition and a great way to teach children about the enviroment. www.arborday.org/shopping/trees/cherry-trees.cfmwww.nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/DC Girls enjoy the festival~Post pictures for me please
