Dear Friends of Highland Recreation Area Supporters,
We are reaching the first engraving and installation of the commemorative Bricks at the Gate House, so we wanted to let you know that if you were planning to purchase a brick to honor or memorialize a loved one that you need to get your order placed by July 8th for our August installation.
If you did not save the form we mailed to you in February you can access and print one from our website www.fohravolunteers.org. Follow the links to the Bricks web page. "Click on the Brick".
If you do not have easy computer access, call the number on the form and we will be glad to mail you a hard copy.
To those of you who have already placed your orders, thank you for your support!
Sincerely,
The Ladies of FOHRA Fundraising Committee
