In other news, the Tree of Life Campaign this year has raised over $25 000 to date. The hospital and the foundation are so grateful to our community and summer residents for their generosity. The tree will shine its’ brightest in time for Christmas. Watch for the star on top to be lit in the coming weeks.
Additionally, the Green Belt display has been lighting up the night for almost the whole month of December. On your drive by, check out our Sponsor board to see some of the generous companies who have helped to make the display possible. Thanks are also due to Peter Chevrefils and his son, Branden who have maintained the display for us. It looks great!
