7TH ANNUAL CELEBRATION, March 14, 2009

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Open to the Public, Children are Welcome

at Nativity Lutheran Church,
33rd Ave NE & Silver Lake Road

We welcome you to invite your family and friends, including children to this heartwarming tribute. In the past, some people have brought their families and friends to honor their loved one. Others have come alone. It is a warm and welcoming gathering. We celebrate our shared vision and honor the memory of our loved ones. There will be beautiful music and speakers who will share their personal stories of loss and how the dragonfly story gave them comfort and hope during their time of deep grief. During the celebration there will also be a special memorial ceremony to honor those who have died. Founder Anne Brooker will be there to share her journey in The Dragonfly Project.

If you are attending the celebration and would like to send a photo of your loved one to be shown in our annual photo montage, please follow these easy instructions:

1. By email: Send .jpg of the photo along with his/her name and a sentence of what your loved one liked to do (15 words or less). Photos can be emailed to: Julie Bonde at bondedragonfly@gmail.com. Please write “Photo Montage” in the subject line of the email.

2. Regular Mail: No email? You can mail your photo to the address below. Be sure to label the back of the photo with the deceased person’s name and the sender’s address. If you want your photo returned, please enclose a self addressed stamped envelope.
