Charlestown Beautification Committee Announces

Adopt a Light Pole Project

The Charlestown Beautification Committee would like to announce their fall fund raising project entitled "Adopt a Light Pole".  The committee is offering personalized commemorative plaques in memory or in honor of loved ones, organizations or businesses that will grace the decorative light poles that surround the City of Charlestown square and those in Greenway Park.  The Beautification Committee plans to decorate each light pole in honor of the changing seasons.  Each plaque, made of cast bronze with raised lettering, measuring 8" x 6", will be available to businesses, organizations or families for only $300.00.  The bronze plaques will adorn the decorative light poles for one year starting in the month of December.  At the end of the year, the plaque will be removed from the pole and mounted to a wooden holder, appropriate for hanging or displaying and returned to the owner.

The Beautification Committee suggests that families "Adopt a Light Pole" in memory of in honor of a loved one.  Organizations may "Adopt a Light Pole" in honor of it's members, or a light pole can be adopted and dedicated to a certain business.  The Committee urges interested families, organizations and businesses to "Adopt a Light Pole" early because of a limited amount of decorative light poles and an eight-week engraving period.  The committee's goal is to have each of the 29 decorative light poles in the City "adopted", decorated and adorned with a commemorative plaque by December.

The Charlestown Beautification Committee is excited about their Fall 2001 "Adopt a Light Pole" project and feels it is a great way for any family, organization or business to show their support and involvement in the important work being done to improve the City's appearance and overall image.  For more information, contact Donna Coomer at (812) 256-7126 or via email at ctowntreas@cityofcharlestown.com .
