    The supplies for this project were donated by Copper Creek Landscaping of Frenchtown. Our volunteers worked through the hottest days of August and early September to complete this project. Spearheading the work were: Eric and Amy Liszt, Rachel Michaels, Marie Bogroff, Debbie Tyler, Ali Arakelian, and Jackie Fiske. The Buy-a-Brick fundraiser helped support this project.
