Clintonville expanding veterans memorial

The Clintonville Veterans Memorial Committee plans to add two sections to the memorial that was dedicated in October 2009. The memorial is located in Midway Park on South Main Street. The Common Council in January approved the addition of two wall sections to the memorial. A section with space for 220 names will be added to each side of the wall. The new walls are expected to cost from $40,000 to $50,000. Anyone wanting to have a name added to the wall can purchase a brick for a donation of $150 each. Donation applications are available at City Hall, 50 10th Street, or from committee members. The name of an individual or business also can be added to the sidewalk bricks at the memorial. A 5-inch by 8-inch paver brick with 13 characters per line and three lines is available for a donation of $150 to $999. An 8-by-11 brick with 17 characters per line and three lines is available for donations of $1,000 to $4,999. A 11-by-11 brick with a maximum of 17 characters per line and three lines is available for donations of $5,000 or more. Anyone with questions can contact City Hall or members of the committee, which consists of Jim Krause, Justin McAuly, Neil Burton, Jim Young and Charles Vandenplas.
