Covenant Hospice Invites You To Walking Tour At Courthouse

8/8/08

The 3rd Annual Covenant Hospice Garden Gala is underway. The event is set for Saturday, September 20 at the National Guard Armory in Marianna. This annual event is renowned for the hand painted benches and chairs that local artist design and fabricate. For the third year, Covenant Hospice has provided local artist with custom constructed wood garden furniture to be transformed into exquisite pieces of art. This year, artist had the choice of a bench, swing or Adirondack chair to transform into their canvas. The furniture was constructed by JCARC, under the leadership of Mr. Joe Shores.
Covenant Hospice invites you to attend the "Walking Tour" on Thursday, August 21 at 5pm on the Jackson County Court House Lawn. You can be the first to preview the magnificent works of art and take advantage of voting on your favorite piece. The community votes will help determine which creations will be in the live auction portion of the Garden Gala. Tickets for the Garden Gala are available now for $40 per individual or $75 per couple.
Proceeds from this breathtaking gala will benefit Covenant Hospice’s Marianna Branch which provides special care to patients and their loved ones in Jackson, Holmes, Calhoun and Washington county areas. The need for Covenant Hospice to serve persons with life-limiting illnesses and their families is growing rapidly. Covenant Hospice’s services are based on need and not the ability to pay.
