Caring tree

Eillie Welling (left) and Iras Chapin, co-presidents of the Residents Council at Lakewood Health Center Care Center in Staples, are pictured by the newly decorated Giving Tree located in the dining room of the care center. Each bow on the tree has the name of a care center resident with gift ideas on the back. Care center employees and patrons can select a bow and return it with a gift by Monday, Dec. 19, to the activities department. The gifts will be distributed on Christmas Eve morning.
