Today's Fernside Friday Fact includes a physical place you can visit!

Did you know that there is a bench dedicated to the Burrell family at Ault Park? This bench was dedicated in recognition of Rachel and Paul's work to support grieving children in our community. If you visit, take a moment to reflect on the impact the Burrell's had that continues today!

It's Friday, which means it's time for another Fernside 40th Fact!

Did you know that the first Fernside evening peer support groups were held at Knox Presbyterian Church? That's right, groups met at KPC in Hyde Park for 8 years as grieving families learned about the community and connection that Fernside was creating. Fernside is lucky to have many wonderful community partners today where evening groups are held.

Stay tuned to learn more about these community partners in future Friday facts!

Fernside welcomed these veteran volunteers to the office on Wednesday, February 25th to assist with the current Facilitator – Expressive Arts Training Class. Together these amazing volunteers have given a combined 71 years of volunteer direct service experience here at Fernside. Fernside’s 40 years of success is due in large part to the time, creativity, and connection that these volunteers and many others continue to make year after year.

A big thank you to (pictured left to right) Amy, Terri, Helene, Diane, and Cassie!
