Thanks to the generous donation of Rita Drapkin, Circle 1988 and Past President, the Camp Louise Circle Board is pleased to introduce The Circle Sisterhood Tree of Life.
Created by artist Phillip Ratner, the metal sculpture of a tree trunk and branches was originally the “Sally K. Drapkin Tree of Life” and hung in Ohr Kodesh Congregation. It was transferred in the summer of 2014 to Camp Louise and now hangs in the White House. The Tree is prominently located inside the main entrance across from Activity Room 1, where nearly everyone passes when they come to Camp.
Each leaf can be engraved with a message of your choice. Options may include:
• Dedicating a leaf to your Circle Sisters or CIT year
• Gifting a leaf in honor or memory of a loved one
• Recognizing a significant life milestone
Currently, leaves for “The Circle Sisterhood Tree of Life” can be purchased for $118, which is 100% tax deductible! There is space on each leaf to engrave up to 4 lines of text with 25 characters per line, including spaces. Proceeds from every leaf will go towards Circle initiatives that support Camp Louise.
This is a unique opportunity to give back to your home-away-from-home, enhance the beauty of a beloved building and leave a lasting mark for years to come. With your generous help, “The Circle Sisterhood Tree of Life” will start to grow, fill up with meaningful messages and be another cherished staple at Camp Louise.
