Emma's Foundation
 Emma McGregor (step-daughter-to-be of Erin Williams, current President) was diagnosed with MLD on December 30, 2003. After 3 weeks of testing, she was admitted as an inpatient to Duke University Medical Center on Monday, February 9, 2004. Emma had her transplant on Thursday, February 19, 2004. A web page has been designed to keep our friends and family updated on Emma's progress. http://www.caringbridge.com/ca/mcgregormld/
Cards, letters, CDs, DVDs, and more can be sent to her via her father, Greg, at the following address: Greg McGregor, c/o Hilton Durham, 3800 Hillsborough Road, Durham, NC, 27705.
A foundation has also been set up in her name. Please go to www.emmasfoundation.org for more information. Your support is greatly appreciated!

The pavilion is in memory of Hansen, who died in 1993. He was a past president of our club, which helped fund the project in partnership with the Markham Regional Arboretum Society and the City of Concord.
