Update on the 'Walk To Rember 2008'

The butterflies danced with flowers at Our Children's Memorial Butterfly Garden on Saturday, September 13th, as over 400 people gathered together to honor all of our precious children, siblings and grandchildren. The walk included a cookout, an honor to the names on the walkway and special messages of love on the wings of released butterflies. The Red Arrow Diner raised over $1400 with a raffle of breakfast for 2! The raffle was won by Barbara Desco of Manchester.

Oh, and the bufferfly release was exceptionally beautiful this year! Be sure to mark your calendar now for next year's event...
