Pick up a form at local business this week if you would like to be included in the Community Tree of Lights and have it returned to the Pinegrove Lioness Club no later than Nov. 5. There is a $20 donation for a “In Memory of” or “In Honor of” a loved one or a family name. There is a $25 donation for business names, and just a $5 donation for a pet name.
