Remember loved ones and raise money for good causes with Rugby Rotary's Tree of Light

People in Rugby are invited to light up the Christmas tree at St Andrew’s Church by remembering a lost loved one or chosen cause.

Rugby Mayor Maggie O’Rourke handed over the Tree of Light to Rob Close, president of The Rotary Club of Rugby last Wednesday.

Rotarians John Vickers and Bill Lee were also in attendance.

To get involved, give a minimum donation of £5 for each dedication. Proceeds will go to The Myton Hospices.

The names and causes of those remembered will be featured in the Rugby Advertiser and the Tree of Light Book of Remembrance placed in St Andrew’s Church in time for the candlelit Commemoration Service.

The service takes place on Tuesday, December 12, at 7pm.

Sponsor forms are also featured in the Rugby Advertiser, St Andrew’s Church or Blackhams Opticians of 21 Albert Street, Rugby, CV21 2SD.

Forms should be returned to Blackhams or Rotary Tree of Light, c/o 125 Kingsley Avenue, Rugby, CV21 4JZ. Cheques or postal orders made payable to ‘Rotary Tree of Light’.
