Memory trees

This year North Haven Hospice’s Memory Trees can be found at New World Regent and Pak’n’Save Whangārei until December 16. People are welcome to select a heart or star, write a message in memory of a loved one and hang it on the tree or their tree at home. While the event — supported by Hikurangi Mountain Lions, the Whangārei Embroiderers Guild, Inner Wheel Parahaki and the Onerahi Probus Club of Whangārei — is not about fundraising, there are collection buckets and Eftpos at each site for people to donate if they wish. A Tree of Remembrance is at Farmers Whangārei, where a donation will provide you with a card to write your special message on to hang on the tree. All donations go to North Haven Hospice.
