We now plan to place a plaque with the story beside the tree. Projected costs are $1700.00. All donors to the project will be recognized. This is an excellent opportunity to remember a member of your family who served in the military. There are three levels of sponsorship. GOLD - $100 SILVER - $50 BRONZE - $25 If you wish to contribute to this very worthwhile project, please complete the form and in an envelope with a cheque or cash and hand in to the Bar Steward.
