Within our western region community we are thrilled to honor and remember the infamous Malachi. What a beautiful spirit he was, touching every single person he met.
Join us at Jackson Park on Friday, October 13th to walk in memory of wish kid, Malachi. We will begin the walk at 4:30pm creating inspirational signs to get started. Together we will walk on the path to Patton Park and celebrate the life that meant so much to many.
Wish kids are some of the bravest and sweetest kids you’ll ever know. Some wishes are extravangant and unique, others are simple and touching. Malachi’s wish was to go to Savannah/Tybee Island to spend time with the individuals that loved him more than anyone.
Please help by contributing to this fundraiser. Every dollar counts and makes a difference not only in the wish kid’s life but in their entire families.
Thank you for your support!

This weekend, a waning but still-bright gibbous moon will interfere with dark skies, but this October shower is still an easy one to enjoy.
Saturday and Sunday, October 7 and 8, 2017 are the likely best days to watch. Close to nightfall on those nights, set up a comfy spot outside, under dark skies if you can, face north toward the constellation of Draco the dragon (where the shower gets its name from), and look up.
The best spot will be away from city lights, with an unobstructed view of the sky. Dress for the weather, and bring water (or hot cocoa) and snacks.
If that’s too much trouble, if you just take some time to look up at the skies Saturday or Sunday night, you might just see a shooting star .
A dazzling show is not expected this year, though there have been hundreds or even thousands of meteors visible per hour (a rare event called a meteor storm) in past Draconid showers.
If you see a Draconid meteor, you’re likely seeing a piece of debris the size of a grain of sand, from Comet 21P/Giacobini/Ziner, as it collides with Earth’s atmosphere.
