911 Memorial Garden Fundraiser
This past winter, the Painesville City Fire Department obtained an artifact from ground zero. It is our desire to utilize this artifact as the centerpiece for a Memorial and Meditation Garden in front of the fire station here in Painesville. The Memorial and Meditation Garden will be for all to visit and reflect upon losses or to seek some solace. This Garden is also to pay respect to those 2,753 victims who lost their lives 10 years ago and to honor local firefighters, law enforcement and military personnel who have died while serving this community.
We have an obligation to give this artifact a permanent home so that the public can view the piece of the twin towers, which once stood as mighty examples of American strength and determination. Martin's Nursery graciously donated their services in designing the garden and now we need to move forward. Our goal is to raise approximately $7,000 in order to make this Memorial and Meditation Garden a reality.
Painesville's Party in the Park event this past weekend enabled us to raise $1,000 towards this project. We are now seeking to fulfill our remaining goal of $6,000 through donations from residents and businesses in our community. We have approximately 4 weeks to raise these funds in order to have the Memorial and Meditation Garden completed in time for the annual 9-11 Memorial ceremony and dedication on September 11, 2011.
No public funds are being utilized for this project.
We need your help to make the Memorial Garden a reality this year. No amount is too small and your generous donation will be publicly acknowledged at our 9-11 memorial ceremony and Memorial Garden dedication event through promotional announcements and prominent note in our program. Donations can either be mailed or dropped off anytime at the Fire Station located at 28 Mentor Avenue.
I welcome the opportunity to speak with you or your organization about this endeavor. Please contact Melissa Soto at 440.392.5852 with questions or to schedule an appointment.

Fundraising effort
Tonight Bella Donna Salon and Spa will be hosting a fundraiser for their owner, Mary Jo. She is participating in the Lifeline Dancing Under the Stars fundraiser. For anyone who doesn't know, Mary Jo is a HUGE supporter of all things Painesville. Get out there and give back to those who give so much to this wonderful City! JT
Anybody out there?
I have been off the wire for a long time. To be honest, time and family obligations have taken over my life and with work being what it is...this took a major backseat. I would like to get things going again if possible and would like to see if there is anyone out there still interested. If so, post your opinion and let me know. I still love this town and have spent much time lately being a Painesville ambassador. I hope that there are more of us out there and hope to hear from you. JT
