Thank You

We would like to thank all of the CRCCS
volunteers for the time and effort that

they put into the gala and all of the
programs and activities throughout the
year. The services that we provide make a
difference in the community and without
our volunteers we would not be able to

achieve what we do.

With Heartfelt thanks!
The CRCCS Board

We would also like to extend a huge thank you to the people
and businesses in our community for their generosity and
support.
Your support encourages our continued commitment
to reach our goal. Your faithful financial support and
prizing donations over the years have demonstrated your
commitment to our work of providing hope and healing to

grieving children and their families. There is no way for us to
fully express our gratitude for your loyalty.

THE BIRD
By Charlene Ogilvie (Reaveley)

Love is like a bird soaring over the clouds unaware of all the
hatred and prejudice in the world.

Blinded from the teasing of children young and old by others.
He believes that every man, woman and child, black or white

are all entitled to a world where everybody is equal.
God made us and the world thinking that we could live
together in peace and harmony and sing together the song
that the birds sing. But no one hears or cares to listen to the
bird sing. But he believes that he could change the way we

live. If we would only listen to his cries.
He will keep singing until everyone will stop and listen to his

song and then he will go back to heaven knowing that he
has done something to make a big difference in our lives and

change the way we feel about each other.
