If you have lost a child, grandchild or sibling, no matter what the cause or at what age the child died, and you need support, The Compassionate Friends is a wonderful resource. Our annual Candle Lighting Service will be held on Sunday, December 12, in conjunction with the TCF Worldwide Candle Lighting held on the second Sunday in December each year. This event has no religious affiliation and is not centered around any of the winter holidays; it is just a time to share our children and light candles in their memory.

As we approach October 1 and the beginning of the new garbage collection cycle, many of you may be wondering what to do with your old recycle bins. You may keep them for storage. Otherwise, you may place one per week INSIDE the recycle can. This way the bins will be collected and recycled. Note that the latest information from the City of Melbourne indicates that our recycle pickup has been switched to Wednesdays. Yard/lawn trash pickup has been moved to Tuesdays. The new garbage cans should not be used for yard/lawn trash.
