At our first ceremony in Westport the children loved to sing the songs and do the actions before getting a chance to hold the torch as always.

We were very happy and grateful to have the First Selectman, Jim Marpe, offer his goodwill and wonderful smile.

We are also very grateful to State Representatives Gail Lavielle and Jonathan Steinberg who also came to offer their enthusiastic support.

We are very grateful to the Wesport YMCA for inviting us here to share our peace message with such a great staff and enthusiastic children and the supportive community leaders who made this trip very uplifting and meaningful.
