Chris Hurlow, of "Fast Eddy's" for his generous donations to our serenity garden. He has given us a wonderful stone that will feature our commemorative plaque, and a number of supplies to help us with our plantings and mulch. Our volunteers who are building the garden are very excited and grateful to see the garden develop into a peaceful and beautiful place to rest and reflect.

We are looking for donations and volunteers to continue our serenity garden. We want to add plantings, two benches, and a water fountain. Please go to our giving page to about how you can help.
