Veterans outreach coordinator seeks new engraver to keep memorial bricks program going
Summary
Veterans Outreach Coordinator Mike Wiers told the Board Paragon Brick Company closed in 2018 and he has a potential contact in Pennsylvania who may provide engraving services so families can continue purchasing engraved bricks for Memorial Park.
Mike Wiers, the Veterans Outreach Coordinator, asked the Board to continue the village's memorial brick program and said Paragon Brick Company — the prior engraver — closed in 2018.
"Mr. Weirs will reach out to the company and see if we can work with them and keep the cost at a minimum, as we have in the past," he said, explaining that families would purchase bricks and the village would arrange engraving and placement. Trustees did not oppose continuing efforts to find a vendor and left follow-up to Mr. Wiers.
The remark was made during the public comment portion of the meeting; no formal motion or budget appropriation was made during the session.
