The Tree of Angels shines
December 11th, 2010 @ 5 pm
Burnet HS Auditorium
1000 Green Mile
doors open @ 4 pm to tag ornaments, accept photos for the Tree Skirt and blocks for the Angel Quilt
The holidays to many families bring only an empty place at the table, the Tree and the heart. The loss of a friend or family member to violent crime becomes all too apparent and only memories of the past and the shadow of loss come forth.
A violent crime is committed every 3 seconds. Lives forever changed
by a senseless act of violence.
For these victims, survivors, families and communities each year comes the lighting of The Tree of Angels.
A reverent forum for the community to join together to
remember, include and support victims of violent crime who are a part of our everyday lives and communities. Above all, the Tree of Angels is an expression of love, compassion and support. Since its inception, the Tree of Angels has become a memorable tradition observed throughout Texas communities. It is now a ceremony celebrated worldwide. Under this forum and tradition, victims, survivors and their families bring an “Angel” ornament, to place on this special tree in honor of their loved one. A Tree they may return to and visit throughout the holiday season.
**Presented by the Burnet HS Criminal Justice Class, PAVC and Hill Country Survivors of Violent Crime
