2015-2016 Community Bench & Memorial Plaque Project
Hammond, New York
A big thank you to all of our community members who supported phase two of our bench project--by purchasing a memorial plaque in honor of a loved one. Be sure to check out all twenty of the memorial plaques in town, displayed on our new benches. Through the memorial plaque order process it became very clear that we have some AMAZING individuals who have been a part of Hammond throughout the years! Four lines with 24 characters is simply not enough space to fully introduce, admire and appreciate the life contributions of the people who have been memorialized in this community project. As such, we felt it would great to share a more complete story of who these people are, and why they are being honored by those who love them.
This document will provide basic info and photos for you to better get to know those who have made our community special. All of these kind and generous people have the enduring mark in time of making our community a place to be remembered and proud of. Many came before them and many will come after them. Many others come to mind that made that mark also and may not be recognized by the few benches that are displayed, but they have not been forgotten in our memories. We challenge everyone to stand in front of one of these plaques and stare into the name presented and tell us that you are not moved by a remembrance of the individual named.
Our work is not done---We are all blessed!
