We will be having our November meeting in person at the White Plains Presbyterian Church on Thursday, the 3rd, at 7:00pm in the Conference Room. Please access our space by parking in the rear parking lot (entering from Barker Ave.), and once parked, walk to the far left end of the back of the church. Enter where you see the TCF White Plains Chapter poster with the butterfly, posted on the red double doors. Follow additional signs inside that lead to the Conference Room. Masks are no longer mandatory; however, use your best judgement if you aren't feeling your best, have a compromised immune system or living with someone whose health must be guarded.
If you have questions, be sure to email me at dawn.tcf@gmail.com.
The Remembrance Tree 2022
Annual Ribbon Ceremony - Sunday, November 20th at 2:00pm
The Remembrance Tree became a reality when two families forged a friendship after losing their daughters. The idea of the Remembrance Tree was born out of a desire to unite other families in our community who have lost children of any age, from any cause, and for whom the holidays are truly challenging. There is a need to express that their children are remembered, and this is a special way in which that idea can be realized.
We invite you to join us Sunday afternoon. For some, this might be your first time participating. For those of you who have joined us in years past, we look forward, once again, to being together.
This annual event will take place in the Larchmont park located on the corner of Palmer Avenue and Weaver Street. (Parking along the street on Palmer is your best bet.) We invite you to bring a white ribbon with the name of your child written on it so that it may be tied to a branch of the tree. This will be a reminder during the winter holidays that our children’s light continues to shine.
Additionally, it's up to each of us to gauge our own boundaries for social distancing. Good common sense must prevail in this setting. (If you're not feeling well, for example - have a fever, chills or cold-like symptoms, please come by another time to tie your ribbon on. If you're someone who has a weak immune system, you know what you need to do for yourself.)
If you have any questions, email me at dawn.tcf@gmail.com or call (914) 834-0185.
