Andre’s Bench Installation and Flower Planting Event

ベンチ寄贈と植栽のご案内

Hi everyone. There is an event scheduled on June 4th, at Matsunami Park in Ishinomaki, Japan, to install a new memorial bench and to plant new flowers and trees. The bench is being installed in memory of Andre Lampson, a volunteer who was important to the success of our Ishinomaki Playground Project, and who passed away last December.

For those of you who are in the area and would like to attend, here is the event information:
