‘Tis The Season For Our Community To Join Together For The 4th Annual Community House Tree Lighting Celebration

The Staff and Board of Trustees of the Community House welcome all to join us on the front lawn, along with Fox 29 and Moorestown’s own Kathy Orr, to continue this memorable tradition celebrating the most wonderful time of the year.

On Monday, December 5 at 5:30 PM, the holiday season officially begins in Moorestown as the Town Crier rings the bell and brings our friends and family together on the front lawn for the 4th Annual Community House Tree Lighting Celebration (16 East Main Street, Moorestown).

The Community House Tree Lighting Celebration has become a joyful, highly anticipated event and icon of our strength and unity as a community. All of the events that take place are the result of generous donations of time and resource from so many. From the gorgeous tree and beautiful lights to the cookies and hot chocolate, the unity warms our hands and our hearts.

“We have so much to be thankful for this year as we near the completion of the fire restoration and welcome our new Executive Director, Mrs. Caryn Lynch” remarks Haynes Hendrickson, President of the Board of Trustees, “The Tree Lighting Celebration is one way we hope to show our gratitude to this amazing community for all of their continued support.”

Laurie Palko, Secretary of the Board of Trustees and Tree Lighting Chair concludes, “What’s most incredible about this event is how it unites friends, families and organizations and gives back to those in need right in our own backyard. The donations of time and resources are truly remarkable and participation in this event grows every year. When we set out to create memories, this is exactly what we imagined.”

Before you head out to join the festivities, please remember donations for our friends at MooreKids and Live Civilly. MooreKids is collecting shelf-stable breakfast foods, such as granola bars, cracker packs, applesauce pouches and fruit cups and Live Civilly will be collecting warm winter coats and Toys for Tots.

The tree lighting itself will be at 6:15, but arrive early to enjoy musical entertainment from the Philly Pops and the Moorestown Madrigals, hot chocolate from Brandywine Senior Living, cookies and water from Wegmans and candy canes compliments of the of the Staff and Board of Trustees.

And you never know when Santa himself will arrive…
