I represent the Scandia Veterans Memorial Committee which is now dissolved. After the dedication of
the memorial in late 2018, we had a balance in our checking account that was being used for upkeep
and ground maintenance on the memorial. Last year the city took over the ground maintenance. We no
longer need the remaining funds so I would like to present the enclosed cashiers check for the city to
use to help cover future costs incurred on the memorial.
I've been contacted several times with requests to add new names to the memorial. Unfortunately, the
existing walls are full. Patti Rae, Terry Gorman and I met last year and discussed some ideas. Adding a
new wall would be a major project. To accommodate future requests, a granite slab to match the
existing ones could be inserted in the area. Names could simply be engraved onto the slab. Perhaps our
check could be used for this. Just a suggestion, it's your decision.
Please feel free to contact me. I no longer live in Scandia but would be willing to help. Thank you.
