Last Friday evening, a magnificent spruce tree east of the Bill Fowler Center was the centerpiece amidst Christmas carols, lighting of candles, some tears and fellowship for the Annual Lights to Remember Ceremony. Coordinated by The Hospice Society of Camrose and District, the event is held to honour those we have loved and lost. If you have not yet had an opportunity to support this year’s campaign, donations can be made at Duggan Mall on Saturday, December 12 or 19, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Alternatively, go online to camrosehospice.org. If you desire a tax receipt, a minimum of $10 must be donated. Your support will help light up additional trees! The Society has wonderful plans going forward. The group of dedicated members are planning and fundraising for a hospice home to be developed right here in our community. Your generosity will definitely be valued and appreciated.
