By Margot Thomas

CORO JP II presented  a curtain raiser to this year’s Carols by Candlelight Concert when they gave  an outstanding performance for patients , parents and staff  at the Christmas  tree lighting ceremony at Hospital del Nino, on  Monday, Dec.3.

The CanadaPLUS Foundation distributed over 100 souvenir candles, to young patients

The choir will be joined by four other high performing groups at the full Carols by Candlelight event on Saturday December 12, at the Mirador del Pacifico on the Cinta Coster and the audience gets to be part of the show joining in the singing of some of the traditional  season favorites. Song books are provided

The event will raise funds for Hospital Santo Tomas, and Vision of Hope, a unique program teaching the blind to make jewelry and become income earning members of the community.  You can purchase a souvenir candle and sit on the perimeter of the amphitheater, or get nearer the action by reserving a seat. The reservation includes an LED candle. Seats are available at $25 (VIP), and $20 and tickets and candles will be delivered to your home or office, in Panama City and environs  if you reserve by December 9.
