The 14th Annual Pine Tree Hospice Variety Show on April 25th was one of the best shows ever! Once again, Dr. David Frasz served as the Master of Ceremonies and Rhonda Kirkpatrick did a great job as Theatre Director. The students of The Learning Tree are always a big hit with their dance and the Parade of Sponsors. Entertainers included the Heartwise Dancers, JamBuie Drummers, two one-act plays, "Tradition" sung by the Slightly Off Center Players and two songs by Sugar Snap. Tom Lyford told a cautionary tale, while Pine Tree Hospice Volunteer, Karen Dow, performed a liturgical dance and signed to the song, "I Can Only Imagine." Thre was even a surprise visit from Elvis!
