Veteran’s outreach coordinator seeks vendor to resume engraving memorial bricks
Summary
Mike Wiers told the board Paragon Brick Company — the village’s former engraver of memorial bricks — closed in 2018; he said he will contact a Pennsylvania vendor to try to restore an affordable engraving service for families who buy bricks for Memorial Park.
Mike Wiers, the Veteran’s Outreach Coordinator, told the board that Paragon Brick Company — which previously engraved bricks for the village’s Memorial Park — closed in 2018 and that he has a contact in Pennsylvania who may be able to perform engraving at minimal cost. "Paragon Brick Company used to engrave the bricks, however, the company closed in 2018," the minutes state. Wiers said he will reach out to the vendor and work to keep costs low so families can continue to purchase engraved bricks that the village would place in the park.
The board did not vote on any funding or vendor selection at the meeting. Wiers' outreach signals an intent to restore the memorial brick program if a suitable vendor and price can be identified.
