Llangollen tree initiative to shine light on special people

The Vale of Llangollen Rotary has teamed up with the Llangollen Christmas festival community group, with the support of the town council, to have the town’s first Rotary Tree of Light.

This will look to help raise much-needed funds for Llangollen Christmas festival.

Using the beautiful Christmas tree as its symbol in Centenary Square, on Castle Street, people can dedicate a tree light and a personal message for £5 in memory of someone special or someone no longer with us, for a special memory or just for being grateful for what we have.

All of the money raised will go towards Llangollen’s Christmas festival.

The messages that are received will be shown on the Vale of Llangollen Rotary Club’s website and on the dedicated Facebook page - LlangollenRotaryTreeofLight.

Names will also be displayed in the area at the foot of the tree for others to read.

A sign will be in position at the base of the tree telling people how they can make their dedications.

In addition, a QR code will be displayed that takes a smart phone user to the page at Rotary club website www.valeofllangollenrotary.com/tree-of-light
