Because of the shooting incident and complaints about ongoing fights in this area Reverend Kathyrn Morgan, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church and Girl Scout Leader Helen John came up with the idea of holding the Candle Light and Prayer Virgil. Those interested in attending are to meet at 8 PM at the First Presbyterian Church, corner of Monmouth and Burlington Sts. Participants will walk from the church to the park which is three blocks away.
