Save the date... On Sunday, December 14 at 7 PM, the Oneonta Region Chapter of The Compassionate Friends will join other chapters worldwide to observe The Compassionate Friends Worldwide Candle Lighting. The annual event provides a time for families to remember their departed children, grandchildren, and siblings, and to help to make the holiday season more bearable. Anyone who has lost a child, grandchild or sibling of any age is invited to attend, as well as close relatives and friends. Families may wish to bring a small photo of their loved one, and it is suggested that you plan to arrive at 6:30 pm to set up your photo on the memory table. The ceremony will begin at exactly 7pm at the Unitarian Universalist Society Church, 12 Ford Avenue in Oneonta, NY. Special ornaments and candles will be provided. Refreshments will be served after the ceremony. For more information, please call Al Davino at 607-746-7396, or visit www.tcfoneonta.org.
