The traditional Remembrance Tree will be illuminated to start the season at 6 p.m. in Bechtel Park at River Drive and Iowa Street, Davenport. Donations will be accepted for tree light sponsors with proceeds supporting Genesis Hospice Care.
Special entertainment will be provided by a brass quintet, dancers, and, the Holiday Pops Children's Choir. The choir will feature music from "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and "Polar Express."
There will be cocoa, cider and other refreshments.
Individual "light" sponsors are invited to make a donation of $10 to honor the memory of loved ones. Names received by the Genesis Foundation by November 5 will be included on a "Scroll of Names,'' which will be given to ceremony attendees.
To sponsor a light, call (563) 421-6865 or visit www.genesishealth.com/tree.
Genesis Hospice is comprised of a multi-disciplinary team to assist in managing symptoms, as well as enhancing quality of life. The common goal of all services is to provide the patient and family with comfort.
