"When you’ve lost someone you love – recently, or even years ago – the new year can bring on a tidal wave of emotions and expectations. The idea of starting over in the new year can feel unwanted or even just overwhelming."

A huge thank you to:

• Skip Edie, our board president, for bringing the trees to Lisbon
• J P Building Supply Inc. for donating the plywood for the mountains
• Waddington Hardware and Building Supply for their support
• Ruth, our CEO, for donating her time and talents, using power tools to build the mountains and archway
• Potsdam Agway for donating extra pallets
• White's Lumber in Gouverneur and Ace Hardware in DeKalb Junction for donating Christmas lights
• Tractor Supply in Ogdensburg for donating a roll of plastic
• Tractor Supply in Potsdam an d Massena for donating paint brushes
• Walmart in Ogdensburg, Massena, and Potsdam for donating gift cards to help with the project
• David Peggs from our board for meeting us at the beach and helping set up the display

Thank you to everyone who stepped in to help. This first year meant a lot to us, and we are already looking forward to bringing memories of loved ones to Lights on the River again in the years ahead!
