Again this year Respite Care Service's "Tree of Lights" names will be represented by luminaries around the Centerville Square. They will be placed on the Square Dec. 12 during the annual "Living Windows."

For a $5 donation, members of the community are invited to add the name of a loved one to the "Tree of Lights" list to celebrate the life of a loved one passed away. Donations further Respite services in Appanoose County.

In addition to the luminary, names will be updated weekly in the 18-80 Club window and listed in the Iowegian on Friday, Dec. 18.

This is the 19th year Respite has remembered loved ones during the holiday season.

Donation cards are available at US Bank, Iowa Trust & Savings Bank, 18-80 Club, Tangleberries, Mercy Medical Center, Appanoose Community Care Services, Moulton Community Center, Success Bank in Moulton and at the Moulton Christian Church by contacting the Rev. Reggie Higginbottom. Names and donations can also be mailed to Respite Care Services, 19890 St. Joseph's Drive, Centerville, IA 52544.

Respite Care Services has provided many hours of relief to caregivers and companionship for the homebound in Appanoose County since 1991.

Anyone wanting more information about becoming a volunteer, needing the services or with questions about the “Tree of Lights” can contact Debbie Kury at 437-3474.
