Celebrations of Life


Greetings everyone, Robert and I are taking a vacation from August 18th until September 3rd to celebrate 20 years of happy marriage! See you all in September and remember to celebrate life every day. Love, Aleia
Our second Death Café was held last Saturday and it was, again, a wonderful celebration of life! We had 30 reservations; 18 new patrons and 9 repeat guests arrived. When asked to write three words to describe the experience, patrons reported these to name a few: revealing, respectful, awesome, helpful, caring, inspiring, beautiful, open, exhilarating, educational, and rich! Our next Café will be held on Saturday, September 28th from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Federated Church. Watch for the event to be posted on our Facebook page.
