AN OPPORTUNITY -

Dear Bradford Woods Residents:

How would you like to make a lasting impression in your community? You can by ordering a personally ENGRAVED brick and becoming a permanent part of Bradford Woods. Evan from Boy Scout Troop 81 and a local resident will be making changes to the front driveway at the Bradford Woods Borough Office and Fire Station for his Eagle Project. The new area will include an island with a 35-foot flagpole, a borough and fire company sign, plantings and a brick walkway leading from the front door to the island. The flagpole and sign will be accented by neighbor-friendly lights. Donate by ordering an engraved brick to be placed in this walkway.

Thanks!

Evan – Boy Scout Troop 81 Eagle Project
