Marie Cinti: Living in Penfield

OK, I fully admit that this blog is a shameless plug—I have been a Shepherd Home volunteer for nearly four years and I love supporting the home and its mission to care for the terminally ill. So I thought a blog about Shepherd Home’s event, Wings of Light: Celebrating the Angels In Our Lives might be something you want to know about.

Shepherd Home will present a luminary display on Monday, December 19 from 5 to 9 pm on the grounds of the home’s location, 1959 Five Mile Line Road. The luminaries—small bags holding sand and a lighted candle—will all be lit at once to create a glowing nighttime display during the holiday season. The intent of the event is to help the local community gather to celebrate and honor the angels in their lives, past and present, as well as raise needed funds for the operation of the home.  

If this has piqued your interest, visit the Shepherd Home website to purchase a luminary. They are $10 each and can be personalized with the name of one of the “angels” in your life. If your schedule allows, come over to Shepherd Home that evening to view the display and enjoy some cocoa and cookies. The more luminaries purchased, the larger the display will be that evening...
 
Shepherd Home wishes to thank Sally Dixon of Concepts and Copy for writing the press release and promotional copy for the Wings of Light event, Clover Lawn and Landscape for their donations of luminary materials, Diane Fitzgerald-Harris for her graphic design talents, and Jeff Burns for website assistance.  This fundraising event would not be possible without their help.  A place like Shepherd Home would not be possible without yours.
