URGENT: Donations Needed Badly For Welcome Signs


As reported earlier, the Dorchester Community Foundation is raising funds to finalize the town's new welcome signs.  These signs will feature the community's new logo, which will also be on the village's new water tower -- to be completed yet this year or early 2013. 

The concrete and brick welcome signs will be rather substantial in size, measuring 8' tall (pillars) and 20' wide. They will stand on an elevated landing measuring 6' by 24'. Plans are to have them lighted, as well.

The Dorchester Community Foundation needs your help now to raise approximately $16,000 to complete this important project that reflects our community pride.  Contact friends, family, DHS alumni and Dorchester natives all over the country and encourage them to donate $25, $50, $100 -- whatever they can afford.
 
You can contribute to this project by making checks payable to Dorchester Community Foundation Fund.

Donations should be sent to:

Mr. Dale Hayek
652 County Road 1200
Dorchester, NE 68343

The Dorchester Community Foundation Fund is a non-profit subsidiary of the Nebraska Community Foundation so all donations are tax deductible.

    I would like to take this opprotunity to "THANK" all the people who have sent in donations. From $20.00 to $2,500.00 -- we are getting there and will have enough to start one sign ASAP and hopefully be able to get the second one going. There are so many good causes that need money so that makes the Foundation even more grateful. When the water tower is completed this spring and the signs are up, it will be a wonderful welcome to Dorchester. Thank you all very much for you generousity. Glad to call Dorchester home and to call all of you friends!

  3. Do we really need 8' x 20' signs for a town of 600 people. Really? Can't we put some of that money into more important things. Sorry but I am not donating my money. I have to pay my taxes first.
