Picnic 2009

It was a great day to spend time with the Adoption STAR family of families. Thank you all for participating. Special thanks to Patty, Steve and Matthew Spear for organizing another fun event.

Thanks to the families who shared their photos and captured these precious memories and "Aunt Marilyn," our official picnic photographer.

We're grateful to the volunteers from the Target Store on Transit Rd in Williamsville for joining us and bring treats and the teen volunteers from Amherst YES who helped with set up, food prep and facepainting.
