The new community group, Our Kids: Our Business, is remembering Robert Manwill on Halloween with a Valley-wide initiative: encouraging people to take advantage of Halloween's sociable nature to introduce themselves to neighbors and exchange contact information.

For more information about the project, including a link to print your own "Say Hello" poster: http://idahochildrenstrustfund.state.id.us or call the Idaho Children's Trust Fund: 386-9317.

The murder this summer of 8-year-old Robert galvanized many in the community to start working on ways to improve child advocacy - and led to the formation of Our Kids: Our Business.
