Patoka 2000 seeking donations for Patoka River bridge planters

Patoka 2000, the beautification committee of the Jasper Chamber of Commerce is getting ready to place beautiful summer flowers in the planters along the Patoka River Bridge.

Patoka 2000 works to maintain this area as a beautiful entryway into the City of Jasper. The planters are spruced up with live flowers three times a year and flags are rotated at various times, too. Donations are accepted and received and it is this money that helps maintain these planter urns and the decorative flags on the Patoka River Bridge.

In order to defray the costs of this beautification, Patoka 2000 seeks donations from individuals or businesses throughout the community. Donations of any amount are being accepted and need to be made payable to Patoka 2000. Donors should specify if the donation is being made to honor or remember someone or as a tribute to a cause.

In addition to the donations, Patoka 2000 is seeking volunteers who could give about one hour each week to help keep the planters watered throughout the summer months. If you can help with watering – or would like more information on how this is done – please contact Nancy Eckerle at the number below.

Donations can be sent directly to Patoka 2000 (deadline is May 1) at the Jasper Chamber of Commerce at P.O. Box  307, Jasper, Indiana  47547-0307. If you have any questions about this project or about the donation, please call the Jasper Chamber of Commerce at 812/482-6866.
