IN RE: Parents of Murdered Children
"Day of Remembrance"
Dear Mr. Riley:
On Thursday, September 25, 2003, the Shenandoah Valley Chapter of Parents Of
Murdered Children, Inc. will have our fifth annual "Day of Remembrance" at the
Timbrook Safety Center in Winchester, Virginia. We would be honored if you could
attend.
As leader of the Shenandoah Valley Chapter I receive calls from allover the
Commonwealth of Virginia from people going through the tragedy of murder. Please go
to www.pomc.com to get a glimpse of all of the services we provide. I am writing to ask
you to proclaim September 25th, 2003 as the "FREDERICK COUNTY DAY OF
REMEMBRANCE".
This day provides a wonderful opportunity to bring survivors of murders together to
remember their loved ones locally, as well as nationally_ It provides the community time
to reflect on those lives lost senselessly to violence. If you have any questions please
contact me at (703) 777-0581 (9-5, M-F) or evenings (540) 869-1036.
