A Gingko tree that was grown from seeds from trees that survived the bombing in Hiroshima in 1945 will be dedicated in John F. Fleming Memorial Park in Rogue River on August 12, 2021, at 9:00 a.m. Many speakers will be present and members of One Sunny Day Initiatives in Medford, including founder, Hideko Tamura-Snider who survived the bombing, will be in attendance. One Sunny Day Initiatives promotes peace, hope and reconciliation and works toward a world free of nuclear weapons. The community is invited to join us for this dedication. More than 36 such trees have been planted in Oregon, and they have been planted all over the world.
