We are happy to report that we have completed Phase 1 of our engraved
brick project within the Richard Somers Memorial Park Enhancement! My family and
I can’t thank you enough for your support.
My younger brother Eli is now a Life Scout and he just had his Eagle
Project approved by Boy Scouts of America and Somers Point City Council to begin
Richard Somers Memorial Park Enhancement Phase 2, which will also include
engraved bricks. Bricks may NOW be ordered to be placed in this next phase of
the park enhancement in conjunction with the Somers Point Historical Society and
will be part of a path that leads from my original project site to the ADA
Access ramp by the entrance door into the library. Keep checking back for more
pictures of this new planned phase of the park enhancement, but feel free to
place your brick order now. Eli's project is currently underway!
With sincere regards and appreciation,
Carson Endicott
Eagle Scout
Scouting has always been a community program. Through service projects, Scouts and their families help make the community they live in a better place. I've lived in Somers Point my whole life, and have been a Scout since I've been six years old. My last task to earn the rank of Eagle is to plan and complete a project that benefits my community. Making a brick donation is a great way to show your support for this project and you can do this by also honoring your whole family or a family member, memorializing a loved one, or by celebrating an important life event. Whichever it is that you choose, it will become an important part of Somers Point history, just like Richard Somers.
Bricks come in two sizes, 4x8 and 8x8. You can purchase it with just the words that you would like to choose, or you can add a symbol to your brick as well to make it even more special. There are hundreds of symbols to choose from, but the largest amount of possible symbol choices can be found with the 8x8 brick, particularly Armed Forces, Medals of Service or National Award Winners . Your brick will be installed throughout the project site shown.
Because the Somers Point Historical Society is sponsoring me in my efforts, this is considered a tax-deductible donation. You can even purchase a certificate if you'd like, if you plan to give a brick as a gift, but please know that symbols cannot be shown on the certificate.
Thank you so much for joining with me as I take this project on to honor both
our history and a war hero. Together we will make a new future that will change
history.
Yours in Scouting,
Carson
