TREE OF LIGHTS CEREMONY

 

 

Erin Schaffer, Marie Brennan, Mayor Frye

 

     Marie Brennan was honored by the CHC Auxiliary as the originator of the "Tree of Lights" ceremony at its 25th anniversary on Tuesday, November 29th.  She is pictured here with her granddaughter, Erin Schaffer, who will become the new chairperson in charge of this event in the future.

 

 

     Each light on the "Tree of Lights"  represents the memory of a loved one, placed there to honor them during the Christmas season.

 

 

     People looked up in appreciation as the Tree of Lights was lit.  At the same moment a "falling star" shot across the sky.

 

 

     A quilt hanging was presented to Marie Brennan by the CHC Auxiliary for her long years of service and dedication to this popular community event.

 

Peggy Smith and Dorothy Fenske

 

     Peggy Smith, President of the Carrington Health Center Auxiliary,  and Dorothy Fenske (the CHC Auxiliary Volunteer Coordinator) wish to thank everyone for supporting this worthy community tradition.  (All contributions to the Tree of Lights go toward hospital and community service projects.)
