On Monday, November 9, 2009 from 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM our Veterans Day Concert entitled, “HEALING OUR HEROES” will be held at Saint Francis Xavier Catholic Church, 606 East Washington Street, Medina, OH. The free concert will be performed by the Medina Community Band under the direction of Marcus Neiman. The concert is open to the public and free of charge.
“Our heroes are ordinary men and women that perform extraordinary acts in the service of our country and our community,” said Reverend Dr. Teresa Dulyea – Parker, First Christian Church. “We invite people of all faiths to come and help us pay tribute to “our heroes” and the sacrifices they have made. In our small way, we hope to help the healing begin.”
