Dear Residents,
The Beautification Task Force is working to continually improve the quality of life in Bernards Township. This year, we are working on the Township’s first ever Field of Honor in order to honor Veteran’s and the sacrifices they have made on behalf of us all. You have an opportunity to recognize a Veteran, recognize the Armed Forces and/or support currently homeless Veterans by purchasing an American Flag to be flown on the grounds of the Bernards Township municipal building lawn for two weeks during November 2011.
Flags will be arranged in precision rows cascading up the lawn and will be very visible from the street. Each flag will be accompanied by a yellow ribbon with the name of the honoree hand written on it. There will be a ceremony marking the dedication and all residents are encouraged to attend. Proceeds from the sale of the flags go directly to benefit the needs of homeless Veteran’s through Community Hope, Inc. – at the Veteran’s Administration Hospital here in Basking Ridge. There are a limited number of flags (200) available, so please order early at $30 per flag.
Contact Laura Begg via email at beautification@bernards.org, or check the Bernards Township website: www.bernards.org for further information or for additional applications. Additionally, we invite all Girl and Boy Scout troops to mark the date and to please attend the ceremony. Further, volunteers are needed for set up and break down, and anyone interested in this wonderful community service project is encouraged to contact me at the above email.
Thank you.
Regards,
Laura Begg
Beautification Task Force
