Remembrance Tree is one of Ennis Lions Clubs’ signature projects. As Christmas approaches the Tree in The Market becomes more and more bedecked with yellow ribbons. Each ribbon fondly remembers a loved one. That loved one may have passed away or may be unavoidably away from home at Christmas time. In remembering their loved ones, patrons are also providing much needed funding for Cahercalla Hospice.
This Lions Club Project very much resonates with the people of Ennis and beyond. Remembering their loved ones by putting a message on a yellow ribbon has become the focal point of a pre-Christmas visit to the town for many.
As a fundraiser for Cahercalla Hospice the Remembrance Tree has been hugely successful. From a modest €7,400 in 2012 to a very gratifying €16,300 in 2019 the Remembrance Tree has raised €86,000 in total for the Hospice.
