Gainesville will welcome the holiday season with the annual Love Light Tree Lighting Celebration at 7 p.m. today. Saturday the lights were being strung on the tree that stands ready for the 35th annual celebration, which will be held in the Auxiliary Love Light Garden, outside of the North Patient Tower of the Northeast Georgia Medical Center. Every year The Medical Center Auxiliary puts on the event as a celebration of the Love Light donations that support the Hospice of NGMC. All of the donations made throughout the year benefit Hospice of NGMC, which aids in providing in-home nursing care for patients with life-limiting illnesses.
