Circle of Love & Light wreath lighting is Dec. 1

Posted

Hospice Care of VNA of Care New England will hold its annual tree lighting and Circle of Love & Light wreath lighting ceremony On Monday, Dec. 1 at Warwick City Hall, 3275 Post Road at 6 p.m. This special evening of reflection and song provides a meaningful opportunity at the holiday season to remember and pay tribute to those whom we have lost. The event is free and open to the public.

Speaking at the ceremony will be Lynn Evans, whose father received hospice services, Warwick Mayor Scott Avedisian and members of the VNA of Care New England hospice care team. Music will be provided by St. Gregory’s Children’s Choir.

The Circle of Love & Light wreath, which represents the light that shines for those remembered, will remain lit at VNA of Care New England offices through Jan. 2, 2015. New this year to the annual Circle of Love & Light event is the opportunity to purchase a one-of-a-kind silver dipped Aspen tree leaf ornament. The Aspen leaf symbolizes courage and respect and no two are the same. It was chosen to celebrate the uniqueness, courage and respect exhibited by each patient and family who receives care from Hospice Care of VNA of Care New England.

These special ornaments are sure to become a welcomed addition to your family’s permanent collection while serving as a gentle reminder of your loved one. Suggested donation is $20 per ornament at the event or $25 by mail to cover shipping and handling. All donations are used to support Hospice Care of VNA of Care New England and the hundreds of families served annually throughout Rhode Island.

Those who would like to purchase an ornament by mail or simply make a donation on behalf of a loved one to be honored or remembered, please contact Timothy Gwiazdowski at 921-8517. Donations may be sent to VNA of Care New England, Attn: Circle of Love & Light, 51 Health Lane, Warwick, RI 02886. Include the names of those individuals you would like remembered or honored and your own contact information.
