Gold Star Family bench and veterans monument installation expected next week, volunteer says
Summary
A local resident (Linda) told the board a Gold Star Family bench and monument have been funded in part by a $12,000 donation and that monument work—delayed by cemetery procedures—should begin next week; she said the fundraising ride has generated more than $35,000 over six years.
Linda, a public commenter, updated the board on a veterans monument and a Gold Star Family bench planned for the town cemetery. She said the bench will sit on a granite base and is intended to honor Gold Star families as part of a broader monument project.
Linda said the group received a $12,000 donation to support the bench and that the associated fundraising ride "has generated over $35,000 in the last 6 years that I've been doing." She said the cemetery installation was delayed by supervisor procedures and changing superintendents, but she expected installation work to begin soon and that the monument should be in place by next week.
Board members praised the volunteers and discussed coordinating with the cemetery superintendent on installation logistics.
