A Celebration of Lights

A Celebration of Lights is a wonderful opportunity to honor or remember a family member, friend, teacher, doctor--or any special person in your life. For each light you purchase, a card featuring our "tree of lights" is sent to the individual or family you acknowledge-a beautiful memento of your thoughtful gift that will be appreciated by the recipients all season long.

Here's how it works >

The tree lighting ceremony will take place on Tues., Dec. 1 from 5:00-7:00p.m. Enjoy refreshments, music, and more!
