The Middletown LIONS Club has planted a blue spruce MEMORY TREE at the Cone Branch "Pocket Park" [Main St. & Cone Branch]. This tree will contain white lights--each one honoring the memory of a deceased relative or friend. The LIONS hope this will be enjoyed by all who both dedicate a light(s) and those who pass by on Alt.40 (Main St.). A Lighting Ceremony will be held at 5:30 p.m. on DECEMBER 3. The tree will remain lit through January 1. In January all names of dedicated lights will be listed in the Middletown Valley Citizen weekly newspaper. A donation of $3 per light in Memory of a loved one will help the Middletown Lions in their many projects which benefit Middletown Town and Valley residents. It will be a holiday 'bright spot" as one enters the older section of the town. The Memory Tree along with the many homes who place white window lights contribute to the holiday old time charm of Middletown. Forms for the Memory Tree will be available from any LIONS CLUB member, at Delauter's, Safeway, and at the Town Hall (Municipal Building). A form will also appear for two weeks in the Middletown Valley CITIZEN. Names should be typed or printed very legibly so mistakes in spelling are not made for the newspaper list. An additional piece of paper may contain additional names if you wish to memorialize more than the spaces on the form permit. Donations and names should be sent to: MIDDLETOWN LIONS CLUB If you have any questions, you may call 301-371-9068 or send an email to fesley@aol.com. The Middletown LIONS Club appreciates your support of this project. A temporary sign each year will designate MEMORY TREE and the Lions Club website. This project has been coordinated between the Town of Middletown and the local LIONS Club. The Holidays seem a very appropriate time to remember loved ones who are no longer with us. |
