Today is March 1 and as reported to you earlier we had used
this date as the deadline for brick sales for the upcoming
year. Slower than expected sales have forced us to extend the
deadline until March 31, 2009 for your brick order. If you
want to have your brick installed before the 4th of July 2009
then please get your order in ASAP but in no event later than
March 31. Remember you get 3 lines of 18 characters per line
(commas and spaces are characters). The cost is $50 per brick.
Send your check and the wording that you would like to
Alderson Main Street, P. O. 117, Alderson WV 24910.
During the next two months we expect to have all of the
benches (7) that have been ordered in place, and will order
the memorial plaques for all. In addition we believe that we
will have a benefactor who is providing funding for a flag
pole which we will order and attempt to have in place by the
4th of July. You may recall that the VFW is planning to erect
a flag pole which will give us space for the American and the
Town Flag (if it is ever completed). If the Flag "Gods"
determine that the town is not to have a flag then the great
state of WV flag will fly proudly next our nation's flag.
We received a gift in December that will permit us to plant at
least two and possibly four trees in the park (depending on
the cost) so that these trees can take root and hopefully
begin their growth cycle to maturity during our collective
life times. Also thanks to our gifts flowers will again adorn
the railroad avenue entrance to the park. We would like to get
someone with a tractor in there to loosen up the soil in the
park so that we can fertilize and plant grass.
If we can round up some volunteers we will give the gazebo a
fresh coat of paint and install the lattice work around the
sides of the gazebo as well as seal the decking on that
structure.
If anyone would like to volunteer to help in our spring
preparation and clean up activities please call me Tom
Dameron, 305 839-7178 or email me at

Thanks for your support in this very important endeavor. |
