In Remembrance
Micah Petersen has been the editor of this newsletter for the last several years. But he unexpectedly died the third week in January. We will miss him greatly. We will have more words about Micah's life in the next issue.
Robert Sommer put this Gayzette issue together, and we thank him for stepping up to do the job. ~~~~~~~~John Marsh.

Directions and Map
As we all know, Micah was not one to just sit and listen to a bunch of people speaking. He touched many of our lives by getting involved and making a difference. Micah was very charismatic and loved interacting and engaging all of us. Please join us for a "Micah Petersen Style" GALA CELEBRATION OF LIFE.
As part of the "Micah Style Celebration" we will have various "Micah Moment" stations around the room relating to different aspects of his life. We ask that you find a station that best relates to your relationship to Micah and be part of the celebration by adding something to the Memory Book for his family. It can be a picture, a poem, a shared memory or simply a thought.
Micah recently renewed his interest in photography and started taking artistic pictures again. We will have some of those pictures on display for a silent auction with proceeds going to the Transplant House, an organization Micah was deeply committed to as a Board Member.
We are hoping to find a celebrity host for MICAH JEOPARDY for your chance to win "Micah Bucks". The Micah Bucks can be used for a live auction of the posters at each of the "Micah Moments" stations. The posters will be a professionally printed collage of pictures. We are hoping to share a little of his background with all of you during the Micah Jeopardy.
There are so many of you that have shared wonderful stories with his family that we think others would appreciate hearing about. We will provide an opportunity for anyone wanting to share a story about Micah during the program.
Join us for an interactive and engaging "Micah Style Gala Celebration of Life"!
