Missing Children's Day At the Boston State House

We are hosting our 7th Annual Massachusetts Missing Children's Day this year on Monday, May 21, 2007.
It is held at the Boston State House.
We leave our town of Warren, Ma. with two bus loads of people donated by a local bus company. ( due to Parking)
Each year, we have a theme. This year theme: Reflections;
"Tears and Triumph." We invite our Missing families, our Politicians, friends in the community and media so they can commemorate those who are still missing or abducted and murdered. It is a day for those families to remember those lost and murdered and those missing them.
