Hospice Caring Events WInGs oF caRInG BuTTeRFLy ReLease Hospice Caring held its 3rd annual Wings of Caring butterfly release and honor event on Saturday, September 10, 2011. We are grateful for the support and talents of the many volunteers who helped make it a success. The afternoon began with the opportunity for guests to walk through the butterfly tent and listen to a lovely string quartet. After a Color Guard ceremony outdoors, approximately 100 guests were invited into the Cottage. The program included a commemoration of the 10th anniversary of 9/11, the dedication of recently-purchased memorial bricks, and the reading of names of those being remembered and honored. At the conclusion of the program, while “Over the Rainbow” and “It’s a Wonderful World” played, guests went back outside to enjoy the sight of hundreds of beautiful butterflies flying toward the sky. Guests who had purchased memorial bricks were given pink and white longstemmed roses to lay on their newly-installed bricks along the path in the garden. Given the gorgeous day and the emotion of the afternoon, several guests lingered near their loved ones’ names well after the program ended. One guest commented, “It was the first time in quite awhile that I shed so many tears, but everything was done in a positive and tasteful manner.” VoLunTeeR appRecIaTIon eVenT Each year the staff thanks the volunteers for all they do to provide Montgomery County the unique gift of Hospice Caring. “Let Us Serve You” has become our signature tribute to them. In August 2011, the theme was “Heartfelt Thanks.” A special camp video, musical entertainment by RAGS, and wonderful food by Festive Occasions, Unlimited, provided a very special evening for over 100 volunteers. The volunteers immensely enjoy seeing each other, telling their stories, and how they are involved with Hospice Caring. It was a special night for special people and an event we look forward to each year. 18
