Hope Takes Flight at VNA Ceremony



Blogger's Note: The following was provided by the Visiting Nurse Association of Pottstown

The Visiting Nurse Association of Pottstown (VNAP) will hold its 12th Annual “Hope Takes Flight” Butterfly Release event at 1 p.m.Sunday, June 7 at Midge’s Garden at the Pottstown VNA office at 1963 E. High Street

The event will take place rain or shine. Typically, there is a group of 20-25 people who either participate or watch the butterfly release.

Monarch butterflies are handed out to those who have donated in the memory or honor of a loved one. 

The butterflies offer a graceful, symbolic symbol of the transformation of life’s journeys.

The celebration of life ceremony includes music and reflective readings. 

As a personal recognition of each individual who is being honored, a butterfly is dedicated in his/her name; the names are read aloud in memory or honor of loved ones. Individuals who have dedicated butterflies are then able to release them privately or as part of the collective group. 

Children’s activities and crafts are also provided.

Butterflies may be reserved until Wednesday, June 3. 

There are a limited number of butterflies are available. 

To benefit its hospice program, Berks VNA encourages individuals to make a donation of $25 per butterfly to help support those who need hospices services.
