The sculpture incorporates a rendering of Jesus shepherding five
sheep at the base of the tree and has been made especially for
Meadows Mennonite Retirement Community.

The purpose of the Tree of Life is to provide recognition for families,
individuals, churches, organizations, and corporations for their
generous gifts to Meadows.  The tree contains 300 leaves made
of brushed satin finish engraver’s metal and 19 sculptured stones
made of walnut wood combined with a brass plate for donor
inscription.  The base of the tree is surrounded by the sculptured
stones.  Cut out brass doves will adorn the branches of the tree. 
Each leaf, dove and stone will be engraved with donor’s name or
a memorial inscription, recognizing the various levels of giving. 

The gift recognition ranges are as follows:

Silver leaf

The beginning level of recognition on the Meadows Tree of Life
is $500.00, with increasing levels to $10,000.00 and above. 
The gift category you select will be engraved as shown above.  
Recognition at the different levels can be a one – time donation
or the result of cumulative giving throughout a calendar year.
