Hospice of Dickinson County is sponsoring its annual “Remember Me Tree,” to honor the memory of loved ones during the holiday season. The tree will be on display through the end of December, and can be found in the Home Health and Hospice office, 11 N. Broadway, Herington.
Anyone may place an angel on the tree to honor or remember a loved one. Donations are accepted for the ornaments. For donations of $20 or more, porcelain keepsake ornaments are available. Donation boxes can be found at the Home Health and Hospice office and other Herington businesses.
Proceeds from the “Remember Me Tree” benefit the local Hospice program. Carol Whitehair, Director of Hospice of Dickinson County, states, “Placing an ornament on the tree is a wonderful way to remember or honor a loved one during the holidays. These donations directly benefit our Hospice patients and programs.”
The annual community-wide Candlelight Ceremony will be held Thursday, December 16, at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 114 N. 8th, in Herington beginning at 6:00 p.m. Everyone from the community is invited. There will be a short memorial reading followed by honoring those whose names appear on the Remember Me Tree.
