THE EAST LYME PUBLIC TRUST IS AGAIN OFFERING PLAQUES ON THE BOARDWALK
Sponsor a plaque to become part of the E.L. Boardwalk
As the long-awaited opening of the West end of the Niantic Bay Boardwalk draws near, the East Lyme Public Trust wants to remind you that if you have been considering sponsoring a board on the Boardwalk, the time to act is now!
There are stories behind every engraved plaque on the Boardwalk. On the East End of the Boardwalk, there are 1,463 plaques from over 24 states and two foreign countries. They celebrate Weddings, Anniversaries, Births, Graduations, and cherished Summer Visits. They express Loss, Sorrow, Laughter and Contentment. Historians of the future will value this mirror of the Heart and Soul of a small town in Connecticut in the 21st Century.
The boardwalk itself is a testament to what a small group of volunteers, working together with the town, can accomplish. For a $100 tax deductible contribution,
become part of that permanent history by sponsoring a plaque with your own memory engraved, to be placed on the re-constructed West End of the Boardwalk. All profits raised by the sponsorship of the plaques are used to contribute to the maintenance of the Boardwalk and other Trust projects.
