BENTON – Members of the Marshall County Hospital Auxiliary were in attendance at Tuesday’s Marshall County Fiscal Court meeting for the signing of the County-wide Observance of Love Light Tree Day Proclamation set for Friday, November 4th.
The Hospital Auxiliary is a non-profit organization that promotes Marshall County Hospital and in the past year purchased a Thera-Slide Rail System, Fujitsu Printer, Nasco Chester Chest for the Education Department at the hospital, Learn About X-Ray coloring books and crayons for the X-Ray Department. The Auxiliary also gave the fourth annual $500 scholarship to two students in Marshall County going into the healthcare field.
For 30 years, the Auxiliary has provided a way for individuals to commemorate and honor loved ones, deceased or living, by sponsoring the Love Light Tree each December. This special day is set aside to encourage county residents to remember loved ones by making a donation to the Love Light Tree.
Donations of $5 per name is requested and larger donations are accepted. Cards are available at the Auxiliary desk in the lobby of Marshall County Hospital.
