Lighting of the Loving Tree - 2011
Thank you to everyone who supported our 2011 Lighting of the Loving Tree event, proudly sponsored by ETSA Utilities. We were again delighted to present an evening of carols with members of the Adelaide Harmony Choir and the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Singer/Songwriter Wes Carr also joined us on the evening to share his dear memories of his Nana who was a patient in the Mary Potter Hospice last year. Wes also played a beautiful rendition of his Nana's favourite song, Moon River, as a tribute.
Our Lighting of the Loving Tree event is always held on the first Wednesday of December.

About the Mary Potter Hospice Loving Tree
The Loving Tree is a large Canadian Pine tree at the front of the Mary Potter Hospice. Every year, on the first Wednesday of December, over 1000 members come together for a very special night. Carols are sung accompanied by the angelic voices of the Adelaide Harmony Choir, and music is enjoyed thanks to the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra. Both groups volunteer their time to be a part of the Lighting of the Loving Tree.
The Loving tree has many lights, which friends and supporters 'sponsor' to raise much needed funds for the Mary Potter Hospice.Lit by Love, each light on the tree signifies the life of those we remember and those who are unable to spend Christmas with us.After the tree is lit, a soprano singer from the Harmony Choir poignantly sings a Christmas carol, giving a personal time of reflection for all whom attend. It is a significant event in the Mary Potter Foundation calendar, and one that we hope you will consider sharing with us this year.
Light sponsorship is available in two forms, $30 small light and $100.00 large.
The Mary Potter Foundation appreciates the support it has received from ETSA Utilities since it commenced sponsoring our 'Lighting of the Loving Tree' in 1999.
ETSA Utilities believes that community engagement extends beyond its efficient and reliable supply of electricity throughout the state. A key part of their community engagement is its support of community groups, events and programs that contribute to the quality of life for South Australians.
ETSA Utilities is pleased to sponsor the Mary Potter Foundation's Loving Tree, which serves as a memorial to loved ones who are unable to be with us at Christmas.
