The sky was gray and threatening rain Saturday, but that wasn't going to deter members of National Alliance on Mental Illness Butler County from getting their message out. Members of NAMI Butler County gathered in the parking lot of the Bonniebrook Clubhouse, 104 Serene Lane, to walk part of the Butler-Freeport Community Trail to raise awareness and help people understand mental illness.
