Dear Friend,
Thank you for your generous donation to the Town of Lexington of a commemorative
tree. This tree will surely help beautify our Town for years to come and commemorate
your designated honoree.
At the Cary Library, the Lexington Commemorative Tree Program maintains a Memorial
Book. In it we keep a record of all the honorees and of the trees planted to commemorate
them. Each honoree is allocated a double-sided page with information about the person
and their tree. We like to include a photo of the person and of the tree planting as well as
the honoree’s name, date of birth, and date of death should they be deceased. You might
add their residence, education, community involvement, special interests, and their
immediate family. We will notate a designated commemorative tree number along with
the species, location, and date of tree planting of the tree.
Attached is a form you might use to record the text you wish to include. We can use the
form “as is” or you are welcome to either edit it or design your own page entirely. Some
donors have submitted a short essay, letter or photo collage in lieu of following the form.
I will be in contact with you soon about your choices for the Memorial Book. Meanwhile
please contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
Jane Beswick
Coordinator, Lexington Commemorative Tree Program
