Amador County – Hospice of Amador and Calaveras will again have two locations for its annual Hospice Tree of Lights for Christmas remembrance ceremonies, which will be held in Calaveras County on Saturday, December 5th and in Amador County on Sunday, December 6th. Hospice Volunteer Coordinator Ann Metherd announced the upcoming festivities last week, inviting the public to participate. This year’s motto is “Celebrate the life of someone you love with a light on the 2009 Hospice Tree of Lights.” This is the second year there will be trees in both Amador County and Calaveras County for the community to honor loved ones. People can celebrate the life of someone they love with a light, Metherd said. For each $10 donation, Hospice will place a light on the tree in the county of choice, and list the name of the person on a name board at that site. The festivities at both locations will include music, a candle lighting celebration, refreshments, and a 5 p.m. lighting of the tree. The Hospice Tree of Lights ceremony in Calaveras County will be lit 5 p.m. Saturday, December 5th at the Calaveras Senior Center, 956 Mountain Ranch Road, in San Andreas. The Hospice Tree of Lights ceremony in Amador County will take place 5 p.m. Sunday, December 6th, at the Hospice Thrift Store at 10776 Argonaut Lane in Jackson, just off Highway 49 & 88. For information, go to either of the Hospice of Amador or Calaveras thrift stores, or call (209) 223-5500. Story by Jim Reece This email address is being protected from spambots.
