Maple Lawn Senior Care Campus spread the holiday spirit across the nation with a very special project. Involved were a Christmas tree that was designated as a “tree filled with love”, and many requests for ornaments from the fifty states of the United States.

The project began in July when Activities Director Annette Kremer began seeking for the ornaments, which began arriving from Kansas, Nebraska and many more.

A map of the United States was helpful in keeping track of the states that the ornaments were sent from.

Listed among the states that ornaments were received from were: Florida, New York, Oregon, Hawaii, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Ohio, Georgia, New Hampshire, California, Idaho, Louisiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Montana, South Carolina, Washington, Alaska, Texas, Nevada, Nebraska, Utah, Missouri, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Mexico, Connecticut, Arizona, and Kansas.
