September 27 - October 3, 2009
A community - wide, week-long series of events and activities designed to salute and highlight the spirit of Hope and its importance in the life of our community.
Did you know that there is a body of research
documenting over 2,000 research protocols
dedicated to the study and enhancement of hope? The research indicates that hope is virtually always related to more beneficial life outcomes.
Expressions and demonstrations of Hope vary greatly, and that variety is encouraged during the week. Individuals and groups are invited to be involved in a manner that best fits their mission and purpose.

Hope is like the dandelion
gently blowing across the fields
Hope flourishes in unexpected places
and thrives in unfertile soil
Hope spreads rapidly and is very
difficult to kill.
And, Hope always brings a smile
to the face of everyone it touches
Hope is – the breath of life |
