June
12 - Thursday 7 - 8:30PM
Dr. Vincent Muli Wa Kituku
- Beyond the Clouds
This is a special treat,
Peter and I have enjoyed
Vincent's insights and wisdom
about children and caregiver
topics. Dr. Kituku is a
native of Kenya, Africa
- living in Eagle. In the
use of folk tales and his
life experiences, he delivers
authentic, informative and
touching messages. His own
life has been touched many
times by grief - in his
writings, books, lectures
and by way of his radio
program he shares understanding
and inspiration with others.
"Buffaloes in our Lives"
KBOI 670AM - 7am sat. mornings.
Alden Waggoner Funeral Chapel
offers monthly support programs
and lectures regarding topics
on grief to bereaved community
at no charge or obligation.
I have attended a couple
of these informative lectures
and would like to encourage
you and your family to attend
as a topic fits your interest.
5400 Fairview Ave - Boise,
Idaho, 376-5400. Our dear
friends at Alden Waggoner
fund the M.I.S.S. bracelet
kindness project.
