Nancy and Peter Grayson will host a dedication of "Joel's Gate" at the Idaho Botanical Children's Garden in Boise at 11 this morning.

The Graysons donated the gate to the Botanical Garden in memory of their son, Joel Albert Grayson, who died when he was 6 weeks old on Oct. 8, 1999.

The short service for Joel will be led and performed by Vashti and Chad Summervill of the Open Door Studio in Boise. The Summervills also plan a musical performance.

Guests are asked to brind a child's garden tool, a book or art supplies for donation to the Idaho Botanical Garden Youth Education Program.

The donations are part of the MISS Kindness Project sponsored by the MISS Foundation, a nationwide foundation for those who have lost children.
