Dear Friends,

We had a wonderful day on Saturday and are so glad so many of you could join us!  The weather was perfect, everyone got into playing bocce and we had a very special prayer circle for Magglio at 4:23. 

Roll for Magglio will be featured on a local program on Foster City TV!  The segment should be up by Saturday August 23.  You should be able to view it at http://www.fostercitytelevision.com/

Thanks again for your generosity and support for Magglio, Becka and Mark.
