A news story we would like to see in 2009
BOSTON, MA – Mayor Menino today announced that the City of Boston would augment its annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony with its first Christmas Ladder lighting as well.
“By lighting a ladder we are celebrating the story of The Christmas Ladder and the wonderful job it has done raising awareness for asthma in children,” said Mayor Thomas Menino.“This is especially important to the City of Boston where we are seeing higher than normal rates of asthma.”
The ladder, a custom-made 60-foot tall wooden step ladder, will be donated through funds raised by the Christmas Ladder Project.
