These holiday trees will be lit on Sunday, December 3,2006 at 6:00 p.m. at a special lighting ceremony with a reception following. The public is welcome to attend the lighting ceremony of their choice. The purpose of the trees is two-fold. Hospice of Lenawee erects these trees in memory of the families which Hospice has served since its inception in 1982. The community is also invited to place lights on the trees in memory or in honor of those they wish to remember in this most special way. Amidst the gaiety of the holidays, the remembrance trees offer a point of stillness where people are remembered in an elegant way. When a light is dedicated, the Hospice will send a letter to the family acknowledging the dedication. Free will donations may be made to the Hospice and will be used to further the work of Hospice throughout the community. Call Hospice of Lenawee at (517) 263-2323 if you have any questions.
