A Newer List! Updated List Links |
||
Before printing up our glass block donor list, we are giving everyone a chance to look over the list and let us know if there are any mistakes. If your name is missing (and you donated $10), please email kimw@centerlb.org . Also, if your name is misspelled or if you would like your name separated from your partner (some names are written like this-Jane Doe/Janet Doer), please indicate that in an email as well. Some people thought they were going to be able to put a saying on the plaque. That is not correct. Only names will be placed there. Thank you again for making the glass block project such a success. |
