MEMORIAL GIFT APPLICATION

Dear Friends:

On behalf of the veterans and staff at the home, we would like to say thanks for all your support and generosity, as many of you continue to ask what is needed or any assistance that can be offered. We have compiled an updated Wish List and information.

We have a new project involving the front circle at the Home. The project will include new trees planted with new landscaping, stone walk, which individual stones can be engraved as a remembrance of loved one, and benches. For further information on this project call or visit the display in the lobby.
