Join us to celebrate Christmas this year by helping the R.K. MacDonald Nursing Home to light up our tree with a bulb dedicated to love. As in previous years, our ‘Lights of Love’ Christmas tree will be lit to honour people in whose name donations were made. These people do not have to be residents of the R.K.
Your donation will be used to fund A Dementia-Friendly Healing & Sensory Garden.
You can dedicate a bulb in memory of a deceased loved one or to honour someone presently in your life. There is no limit to the number of bulbs you can purchase. In addition to a tax receipt for your donation, you can receive a card which you may send to anyone you have honoured.
The tree will be lit and dedications read at 7.00 p.m. on Sunday, December 4th, 2016, in the R.K. Chapel. Following prayers, dedications and carols, refreshments will be served in the R.K. Dining Room. All dedications will be entered in a ‘Lights of Love Memorial Book’ which will be on display in the R.K. Chapel for the next year.
If you would like to donate to the Lights of Love Campaign, you can download this years’ form here.
