Spring 2008 Our thoughts are our most precious resource. Everything begins there and at some point, thoughts turn into a dream and that’s when the magic begins. |

In the spring of 2002,
from Daddy |
Colby's Wishing Star pins or keychains are
also available for $3.00 USD or $4.00 CDN
Just add it to your order sheet. All money
from the pins and keychains goes exclusively for helping fund work on the
Colby Wishing Star Park
These pins and keychains were designed by Carolyn Ann Torlot a jewelry
designer and lifetime friend of ours.
Our plan at our new farm is to construct
a special park for handicapped children all sales from this lilac will
go exclusively to help the construction of the park which we will start
this year in 2003.
The park will be wheelchair accessible and
will have a variety of games, and sensory experiences to learn about fragrances
and textures.
The park will be open to families with handicapped
children only. We have realized in the last months how little there is
for children with special needs. Select Plus will maintain this park at
it's expense in the future and we hope to have something special that families
in the immediate area and all around can come and see as well as our future
world class lilac collection in the spring.
Seeing handicapped children in the past for
us was something we could not have identified any idea what parent's must
have gone through on a daily basis. Now we realize that these parents are
super beings and their children heroes to have the strength and courage
to meet daily challenges.
We have had only great responses for the park
and hope that the community and governments will help us with this special
project.
Colby has been an inspiration to our family and we hope many of
you will raise to a good cause that we feel will be one of the first parks
in North America of this sort.
An Update on the Park

2 acres of land cleared for the park with many good shade trees conserved of a nice size diameter. We have applied for a non profit organization and the Park and organization will be called Colby's Wishing Star Park.

of the non profit park is registered.

is under way. A lilac garden, peony garden, hosta and daylily garden
will be installed also this fall. lso as of May 26 2004 our non profit
park for handicapped children was officially incorporated. Colby's Wishing
Star Park was born!!!

Plans for the Sensory Plant Gardens are now ready and the garden
