		That their light may 
      always shine...Thank you for 
      joining us at 8:00 p.m. on August 12, 2006, for the Third Annual 
		Nationwide SMA Candle Lighting Event.  August is SMA Awareness 
		month, and as such, we choose to use the 2nd Saturday in August every 
		year as a time to reflect on those lost, as well as to honor those 
		living daily with SMA.  As this event continues to grow, we hope to 
		bring awareness to the public about the disorder as well as unity to the 
		families living with it, as we all join to spread the light of our 
		candles around the world.  We hope you will join us next year for the 
		4thd Annual 
      Nationwide SMA Candle Lighting.   
      Spread the light-and the word.

								We had about 30 people who attended - we did a 
								balloon release (with a tag with a name of an 
								sma child attached)  and sang Happy Birthday to 
								Austin C who is from here who passed away last 
								October.  We had two tables with pictures of 
								some of the children who passed way with a LED 
								candle in front of it then a real (wax) rose 
								candle in front of that - everyone had a candle 
								and lit their light from one of the candles in 
								front of an SMA child.  We announced each 
								child's name, then had a moment of silent prayer 
								for them and all the earth angels.  Next year we 
								will have this at the new Miracle accessible 
								playground!  Michelle Worrellia, Annette, 
								Carl, Kenny & Madison Reed
