Community Gathering of Remembrance and Celebration
Saturday, October 16, 2010
PENQUIS - Balloons will fly skyward on Sunday, November 7th as Pine Tree Hospice and Community Health and Counseling Services join together for a Community Gathering of Remembrance and Celebration.

All families and friends are invited to come and remember those that they have lost whether recently or in the past.

Through a variety of ways, the afternoon will provide the opportunity to celebrate someone who has deeply touched our lives. Activities will be provided for all ages such as finger painting with pudding, decorating a star and creating a memory wreath, to name a few.

We invite you to bring along an item of remembrance, a small token that brings you fond memories of your loved one to display on the memory table. Live music will be provided which will include special performances by the Dover-Foxcroft Congregational children's handbell and chime group as well as by Foxcroft Academy music students.

The conclusion of this special event will be a balloon launch where family members and friends may decorate their balloon and attach written notes of love and remembrance.

The celebration will begin at 1:30 and will end with the balloon launch. Refreshments will be provided. Please join us for this very special afternoon.

For more information or to RSVP to the event, please call Pine Tree Hospice at 564-4346 or email us at wecare@pinetreehospice.org.
