With the theme “Let your light so shine,” the Auxiliary of Warren Memorial Hospital prepares for the community’s sixth annual Celebration of Lights, with the tree lighting ceremony scheduled for Tuesday, Dec. 1.
Proceeds from the 1987 Celebration of Lights will be used to make the second payment on the Auxiliary’s pledge to fund Lifeline,a personal emergency response system. Lifeline is sponsored by Warren Memorial Hospital and its Auxiliary as a community service to the people of Front Royal and Warren County.
The Auxiliary’s Celebration of Lights began in 1982, after the idea was planted in the minds of several auxiUans who attended a spring workshop of the Virginia Association of Hospital Auxiliaries. The idea behind the Celebration of Lights is very simple. For a donation of $5 or more, a red light in honor of or a white light in memory of a loved one or a friend is placed on the large fir tree in front of the hospital. Contributions of $50 or more ensure that a light will be placed in the large star at the top of the tree.
Acknowledgement cards are sent to all donors, to those who are being honored, and to families of those who are being memorialized. Names of each honored or memorialized person and the names of the donors are recorded in a book which is displayed in the hospital lobby during December.
