Our two organizations are partnering together to restore <br />the Memorial Fountain, a 1916 DAR landmark located on the lawn of the <br />Historic Cabarrus County Courthouse, 65 Union Street, South in Downtown <br />Concord. We have obtained a restoration price from Robinson Iron, a specialist <br />in restoring early twentieth - century cast iron fountains. We are prepared to raise <br />$20,000 to cover the cost of restoration plus a decorative plaque to recognize <br />all donors and financial participants who contribute $2500 or more to this <br />project. We intend to raise funds through grants and donations from the local <br />community including the Black Boys Chapter of the North Carolina Society, <br />Daughters of the American Revolution and the Concord Downtown <br />Development Corporation, as well as other organizations and private <br />individuals. <br />We respectfully request that the Cabarrus County Board of Commissions <br />support this endeavor by approving support for the refurbishment of the <br />fountain through the funding of the necessary pumps with proper filtration and <br />chemical control system to serve the operation of the fountain. This support <br />would be contingent on our raising the necessary funds for the fountain <br />restoration. <br />Thank you for your thoughtful consideration of this request. <br />Sincerely, <br />I <br />Diane M.
