Stepping out from the home of Florence Berry, these members of the Tahoma Guild, Tacoma Orthopedic Association, display large fund raising candles on November 17, 1947. The Tahoma Guild would be distributing these "Wishing Candles" to many Tacoma restaurants. These candles were part of the Orthopedic Guild's efforts to raise money for disabled children and the future children's hospital. The candles would burn continuously, people wishing to donate money could make a wish then place the money in the wax. Co-chairmen for this project are Rose Weller and Hazel York (T. Times, 11/21/47, p. 15-different photograph). TPL-10581
