Hospice of Dickinson County is sponsoring its annual Remember Me Tree, to honor the memory of loved ones during the holiday season. 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. Placing an ornament on the Remember Me Tree is a wonderful way to remember or honor a loved one during the holidays. These donations directly benefit local Hospice patients and programs.
In Herington, the Remember Me Tree is on display through the end of December in the Home Health and Hospice office, 11 N. Broadway.
