Peg Kay Memorial

Unfortunately our Peg Kay died suddenly and has been moved to our Board Memorial at https://lifeboat.com/ex/board.memorial
 
An extensive memorial about her is at http://www.washacadsci.org/peg-kay/
 
Our Summer Fundraiser that she was backing will be her last activity with the Lifeboat Foundation. Since this fundraiser was not completed and we wish to honor her last wishes, we will try one more time to complete it and will extend the deadline for two more days.
