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

The following has been supplied to the Rugby Advertiser by Peter Smith of Rugby Rotary.

This year’s appeal at the town Christmas tree outside St Andrews Parish Church was launched by the Mayor, the Rector and this year’s Rotary President and appeal letters are out asking you once again to remember that your sponsorship and donations matter more than ever this year.

This is the time in the year when we always bring to mind those of our nearest and dearest that are no longer with us but stay in our

hearts for ever and when we especially treasure their memory.

The ‘Tree of Lights Commemoration Service’ at St Andrews Parish Church (November 6) in a time of reflection with the theme of ‘Light shining in the darkness’ being lead by the Rev Peter Beresford and Rev Pam Gould. Each member of the congregation having a lighted candle to signify the bringing of light to the world.

As we come to the end of this third week of the appeal, I thank the people of Rugby for their continuing support as can be seek by the second list of those you wish to remember loved ones. However, there is still much more to do in support of Rugby’s Myton Hospice.
