Once again the Auxiliary will be hosting the Tree of Lights ceremony on Monday, December 8, 2008 in the North Assembly room. This year’s event will begin at 4:30 PM. Emerson Hospital Chaplain, Ms. Georgia Leiner, will lead the ceremony. Following the ceremony, refreshments will be served. Parking validation is available.
The tradition of donating a light on the tree in memory of a loved one, to honor a special someone, or to celebrate the season began in 1989 and continues to be an event enjoyed by many. Tree of Lights was first coordinated by past Auxiliary President, Donna Grinnell. Since its inception, the Auxiliary has raised over $40,000 with this event.
Donations begin at $10.00 for a light and $25.00 for a star. An acknowledgement is sent to the donor or honoree. General donations are also welcome. As done in previous years, a list of donors and honorees will be displayed in the hospital lobby throughout the season.
Funds received from this event will continue to benefit the ongoing programs sponsored by the Auxiliary. This year, we are supporting the Pediatric Intervention Team, specialized transport equipment, cardiac rehabilitation, and care-giver scholarships.
