Remember a loved one on Rugby Rotary's Tree of Light this Christmas

People in Rugby are invited to remember a loved one or cause for this year’s Tree of Light Appeal.

The Christmas tree stands outside St Andrew’s Church to allow loved ones to be remembered and funds to be reaised for Myton Hospices.

The Tree of Light service is on Tuesday, December 12, at 7pm in the church.

A special Book of Remembrance will be placed in the Church before the service and updated regularly thereafter during the Christmas period which will include all dedications.

Organised by The Rotary club of Rugby, ‘The Tree of Light Appeal’ represents much more than just fundraising.

A spokesman said: “Rotary organisers have been extremely touched this year to have received so many positive comments from the public who have already sent in their sponsor forms thanking us for keeping the appeal running year after year and voicing their appreciation. Rotary reciprocates these sentiments and thank you for your continuing support.

“Rotary invite new sponsors to use the form below and return it completed to either of the addresses on the form together with your donation to sponsor a light on the tree.”

Print the form off or collect one from Blackhams, the Opticians or St Andrew's Church.
