This Friday, Mayor Warren will host “Newton Remembers,” a special ceremony to remember the victims of last year’s tragic bombings. It will include readings from local clergy, and  the planting of daffodils as part “Marathon Daffodils,” where volunteers are planting daffodils throughout the  entire marathon route as a symbol of strength and solidarity. The ceremony will be held this Friday, April 18  at 5:15 p.m. in front of the Jonny Kelly statue, at the corner of Commonwealth Avenue and Walnut Street in
Newton.

In addition, on Saturday, April 19th at 11:30am, just prior to the annual Heartbreak Hill Road Race and Walk  the community is invited to join us outside City Hall for a special performance by Reverse Order, a nationally  touring band and semi-finalist for season 7 of “America’s Got Talent.” Reverse Order will be performing their  song “Our City” in tribute to the victims of last year’s tragedy.
