Rolla Presbyterian Manor promotes Good Samaritan Program with a decorated tree For the past three years, Valerie Eades has decorated a “Good Samaritan tree” at Rolla Presbyterian Manor. The social services designee changes the decorations with each new season. “I think I got this from my mother,” Valerie said. “There is not a holiday that goes by that my mother did not decorate.” The purpose of the tree is to bring attention to the Good Samaritan Program. Passersby who stop to look at the tree will also find information about the charitable program, which benefits residents of Rolla Presbyterian Manor who have outlived their financial resources through no fault of their own.

Valerie Eades decorates a special tree to promote the Good Samaritan Program. Since the beginning of the pandemic, it has also been a bright spot in the lives of residents and staff.
“It’s one of the most wonderful things we have here,” Valerie said. “The idea is that if people know more about it, they may possibly donate.” Valerie’s mother, Rose Martin, is a Presbyterian Manor resident. When Rose lived with her daughter, Valerie kept up a tree up all year that her mother would decorate for every holiday. “I thought it was a great idea, so I incorporated it here,” Valerie said.
