The Visiting Nurses Association (VNA) of Vernon recently held their memorial Tree Lighting Ceremony to remember and honor those who have passed away, as well as those who are or have served in the armed forces, and those who are struggling with illness or adversity.

In support of this event, Between Rounds Bakery Sandwich Café, the unique bakery café and bagel shop with locations in Vernon, South Windsor, Manchester and Tolland, provided the cookies for all to enjoy at this event.

The tree lighting ceremony is held each holiday season and is a fundraiser for the VNA. Proceeds go towards the VNA’s home health and community outreach programs.

“The VNA provides essential home health services, clinics and support groups for the community and it’s an honor to be part of this event,” noted Jerry Puiia, co-owner of Between Rounds.

Dedicated to supporting the community, Between Rounds sponsors and supports a number of other organizations and non-profits including the Rockville Little League and Food Pantries throughout the area.
