We have many exciting announcements today, plus more to come...
1. The memorial fund for Liam and Declan has raised $860 (so far) toward the leaves or rocks on the "Tree of Life" at the Park. Also, an anonymous donor has given the family a pool pass for the 2013 season.
At the family's request, we will also be purchasing a bench for the boys and any remaining money will go directly to the family. Ryan Wharton's project with his church mates and school mates is up and running. We will conclude this fund at the end of February.
