July. He has 490 volunteers in his data base. He is planning a thank you
event for his people on November 29th in the Regional Water Park.

been moved in so that the people that have purchase bricks can now see
them as they walk around the walkway. At the next Freedom Memorial
meeting on September 20`h, the committee will discuss how the cost of
the granite can be reduced by reducing the thickness of the granite thus
saving a lot of money.
