The 12th annual butterfly release to support Home Healthcare, Hospice and Community Services (HCS) will be held in June.
HCS is collaborating with Cathedral of the Pines at 10 Hale Hill Road in Rindge to hold a butterfly release event Thursday, June 15, from 2 to 6 p.m. Additional releases will be held at Butterfly Park at 320 Marlboro Street in Keene on Saturday, June 17, and Thursday, June 22, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The June 15 and 22 events will be reflective and serene events. While all are welcome to participate in each event, on Saturday June 17, HCS is holding some extra space for families with children. The Saturday event will include activities and learning opportunities for children about butterflies in collaboration with The Caterpillar Lab and Frisky Cow Gelato.
Butterflies must be ordered in advance. To order butterflies, go to hcsservices.org/shop. For information or with questions, send email to events@hcsservices.org or call Tammy at 603-352-2253, Ext. 4159. There are a limited number of butterflies available, and orders will be filled on a first-come first-served basis.
All sales benefit HCS, serving patients and their families in southwestern New Hampshire with offices in Keene, Peterborough and Charlestown.
