"Tree of Hope" Community Initiative
We invite you to visit the "Tree of Hope" on the side lawn of the UU Meeting House, Main Street, Chatham. It is a place to seek comfort and share messages of loving kindness. Chatham resident Vangie Collins and several volunteers initiated the idea for this dedicated community space. The community can leave tokens and expressions of hope, including kindness rocks, ornaments, or heartfelt thoughts and prayers. The newly decorated tree was introduced with messages of hope. Thank you to all who participated.
