We are asking everyone to make a family banner out of cloth, to carry in the parade. It will be your own special design. (but don’t worry about detail---if you can’t do cloth—bring a  piece of Bristol Board) . Spread the word—let’s make this the best Come Home Year ever.

There will be various items for sale at the "Come Home year Shop" We are in the process of buying Sweatshits & TShirts with the Come Home year Logo to purchase. More info will be available soon as well as other items to purchase.
