Patoka 2000-a beautification committee of the Jasper Chamber of Commerce-is getting ready to prepare the planters on the Patoka River Bridge for the summer.
Patoka 2000 works to maintain this area as a beautiful entryway into the City of Jasper. The planters are spruced up with live flowers three times a year and flags are rotated at various times too. Donations are accepted and it is this money that helps maintain these planter urns and the decorative flags on the Patoka River Bridge
In order to defray the costs of this beautification project, Patoka 2000 seeks donations from individuals, families or businesses throughout the community. You may make a donation in any amount (payable to Patoka 2000) and specify that the donation is in honor of someone, in memory of someone or as a tribute to a favorite cause. By doing this, you are able to remember that person, while admiring the beautiful bridge area every time you drive across the bridge. Family members and friends are encouraged to chip in together for this great beautification project.
An ad will be placed in The Herald (around mid May) listing all of those that donated funds and the people or cause they would like to have remembered or honored.
In addition to the donations, Patoka 2000 is seeking volunteers who could give about one hour each week to help keep the planters watered throughout the summer months. If you can help with watering or would like more information on how this is done, contact Nancy Eckerle at the number below.
Deadline: May 1, 2021
