Five Projects, $10,000 Required, We Ask For

fundraising campaign, "Make A Stand With Friends". You can donate via

The five projects are:
1. $4,000 for publication of the annual park newspaper which is
distributed at the entrance station generally from May through September.
The visitor to the Monument depends on the newspaper to better plan what
to see and do.
2. $2,200 for the annual contract for the cell phone guided tours.
Numbered signs, with the cell phone number, are posted throughout the
battlefield. When the cell is called, the visitor hears a brief recording
about what happened in that area of the battlefield.
3. $2,400 to sponsor a Teacher-Ranger-Teacher for one summer.
4. $1,000 to sponsor the Junior Ranger program. This program is available
at many Park Service sites, but it is going through a complete reboot at
the battlefield. It is managed by Park Ranger Jerry Jasmer, former Friends
board member, and from what I’ve seen of it so far, it is outstanding.
5. $400 for a backpack sprayer for watering/weed control at restored
sites. Since we announced this campaign, one of our members donated a
backpack sprayer to the battlefield.
