12-9-12 Worldwide Candle Lighting Ceremony is an annual event that was started in 1997 by Compassionatefriends.org. You can go to their website and read all about it.
Last year was our 1st Annual Event and we are going to do it again!
You can join us live in Reedley, CA at Kelly’s Beach located at 9200 Kings River Road at Manning Avenue, on December 9th.
Registration starts at 6pm Ceremony begins at 6:30 And, we will start lighting candles for our children who have died at 7 pm and let them burn for an hour while we proceed with appropriate music, videos and sharing about our loved ones.
Please remember to bring an ornament to place on a Christmas tree that will be displayed the entire month of December at Kelly’s Beach. Also, bring a photo that will be displayed on a remembrance table during the ceremony.
Coffee, Hot Chocolate and cookies will be served. Please dress warm as this event is held outdoors.
Anyone who makes a donation this year will receive this TCF “Forever in my Heart” wristband.
For those of you who are either not in our area, or are just not ready to express your feelings in public, please come back to CliffsStory.com on December 9th at 7pm in your time zone. I will again be posting an online ceremony you can experience at home.
Thank you to everyone who has donated time, money, food, etc. It means the world to me! <3
