Picnic 2003

Over 50 families attended this year's picnic! To see a list of attendees, see the list to the left. Our members enjoyed a fun day meeting other families, touching squishy sea life in the Aquarium on Wheels, playing miniature golf, and swinging and climbing on the playground equipment. Thanks to generous donations from Subway and El Pollo Loco, lunch was provided to all of our families! Thank you to our volunteers who also helped make this a wonderful day!

Why a separate picture of HLHS survivors? Because HLHS is one of the most serious heart defects and some parents are STILL told there is no hope for these children. This picture proves otherwise! To see other "Pictures of Hope" see the Little Hearts, Inc. site, showing over 40 children with HLHS at their 2004 picnic in Connecticut. To learn more about HLHS, see our sister site, the HLHS Information Page.
