Zen Yanni Bench Celebration

Sunday, May 19, 2024

7 runners behind a brand-new park bench

Thanks to overwhelming generosity, a memorial bench for John Van Allen (Zen Yanni) was installed at the start of Forbidden Drive earlier this year.  Now that the weather is nice, please join us on Sunday May 19 for the official “unveiling” of the bench and some bagels and coffee.

WE’RE HOPING FOR AN ENORMOUS TURNOUT…

Of all active and used-to-be-active Shawmonters and John’s friends and family!

 

THE PLAN
