BRIDGEPORT—Planning is underway for the 17th Annual Tree
of Light remembrance Ceremony slated for the evening of December
6 in a dozen Fairfield and New Haven county communities. The event,
sponsored by Visiting Nurse Services of Connecticut, features simultaneous
ceremonies in each community to provide the opportunity for local
residents to commemorate the memories of loved ones who have died.
Again this year, the candlelight event will have a special focus
on the families of service people who have lost their lives defending
our country in Agfhanistan and Iraq. Participants may purchase a
light for their community tree in memory of their loved ones, with
the proceeds going to support VNS’ Hospice at Home™
Program. The nondenominational ceremonies will be held in Fairfield,
Southport, Bridgeport, Stratford, Milford, Shelton/Huntington, Westport,
Easton, Monroe, Southbury, Trumbull and Oxford on December 6 at
6:30 p.m. For more information or to volunteer time to work on the
event, contact VNS Development Director Brinda Pola at 203.366.3821
ext 1098. Click here to see related photos. Click here to download or print a Tree of Light Order Form.
