This year the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research (IALR) is celebrating the holidays with two exciting events for the community! First, our Decorating the Trees for a Cause event will continue for the 11th year but a with a new twist … a virtual submission and voting experience. Second, we’re introducing a Holiday Tree Raffle to present one lucky winner with a fully decorated designer tree, compliments of Commonwealth Home Health Care. And both events benefit charity. Read below for details on how to participate.
