Sue Elliott, left, president of the Hammond-Henry Hospital Auxiliary; and Kathleen VanDeRostyne, Auxiliary/Volunteer Supervisor, stand by the banner for the Auxiliary’s Lovelight Tree, displayed at the corner of Wells St. and College Ave. They are holding the dated porcelain ornaments designed by Geneseo Artist Sharon Michaelsen for this year’s Lovelight Tree, and which will be given to anyone making contributions of $20 and more to the Lovelight Tree in memory of a loved one. Contributions to the Lovelight Tree also may be made in honor of a special person in someone’s life.
The tree is an Auxiliary fundraiser and funds received this year will be used for Health Career Scholarships. Donations forms and additional information are available at the hospital volunteer office, 309-944-9130; at the hospital website www.hammondhenry.com/participate/volunteer or by email at volunteer@hammondhenry.com. Checks may be made payable to Hammond-Henry Hospital Auxiliary and mailed to the Auxiliary at 600 North College Ave., Geneseo, IL 61254. Names of all donors and names of those remembered and honored will be displayed at the main and east entrances to the hospital. Photo by Claudia Loucks
