COMMEMORATIVE BRICKS PROJECT IN NC

            The New Cumberland Festival and Parade Committee is selling commemorative bricks to help raise funds for their beautification project along River Avenue.  The bricks are available in two sizes—4 X 8 inches and 8 X 8 inches.  The smaller ones have 3 lines of text, 20 characters per line including spacing and punctuation, and the larger ones have 6 lines of text with the same number of characters per line.  These decorative bricks are a permanent and public way to honor or remember a friend or loved one.  New Cumberland’s River Avenue already has a river overlook, a pavilion, benches, flowers, and historical markers.  There is also a display of commemorative bricks along the front of the pavilion area, and all new bricks will be placed in the same area.  The cost for the bricks is $50 for the 4 X 8 and $100 for the 8 X 8 sizes. For each brick you purchase, you will receive a mini brick replica.  Additional replicas can also be purchased.   Bricks will be ordered in lots of 100 and will be laid accordingly.  A member of the committee will contact you when your brick is placed.  Please help the committee in their beautification efforts by purchasing a commemorative brick that will make a lasting impression.  Order forms are available at the New Cumberland City Building or by calling city clerk Tammy Jenkins at 304-564-3964.
