Special Remembrance this year to:
- Founding Member of Love Light Tree Committee – Judy Bryan
- Community Member that help design, development and maintained Eclipse Square Veteran Memorial Park where the Love Light Tree is located – Larry VanDyke
Mayor Bruce Franks will open the ceremony, Pastor Diana Verhulst will lead us in prayer, and music will be provided by Prophetstown Music Department members Areana Baskind, Kayler Pritchard, and Kennedi Shaffer. The tree will be lit by the family of Larry VanDyke in remembrance of Larry and all that he did for Prophetstown in his years of service to the community.
The Love Light Tree Committee has been able to provide several amazing things for Prophetstown in the last few years. They were able to provide food to the PLT #3 School District for kids in need of take-home meals during the weekend, they supported the Booster program with a donation toward a new press box project at the softball and baseball fields, and they contributed funds for several benches and trash cans around the community for everyone to enjoy. The Love Light Tree Committee loves to support the community in many ways!
Thank you from the Love Light Tree Committee
The Love Light Committee would like to thank the Prophetstown community for their wonderful support. The overwhelming generosity of your donations toward the remembrance of your loved ones will allow this beautiful tradition to continue. We would like to thank the following people and businesses, for without their help, this project would not be possible:
The Farmers Mutual Insurance for sponsoring the remembrance cards, AroundPtown.com for their advertising of our coupon, events and publishing of all the names, Pastor Diana Verhulst for providing a prayer at the ceremony, the PLT#3 music departments for providing music for the ceremony, all the merchants and businesses for letting us put our coupon trees in their stores, and Prophetstown Proud for the advertising of the ceremony.
Thank you all again!
Amanda Attig, Carolyn Hohenboken, Edwin Corona, Pam Strike, and Stephanie Wankerl
This year’s Love Light Tree will light up in memory and honor of these community members, past and present:
