Bob <br /> From: WRIGHT - MCINTOSH Mary E <br /> To: *PW SW Tech Committee; *PW SW Policy Team; *PW Eng Water Resources Team <br /> Cc: POTTER Glen D; ROBERT Michael J <br /> Subject: Successful Hendricks Park Brochure Grant Application! <br /> Date: Thursday, May 25, 1995 9:10AM <br /> A SUCCESS STORY: As some of you may be aware, Michael Robert <br /> (Head Gardener at Hendricks Park Rhododendron Garden) applied <br /> to the Lane County Tourism Board in early May for a $5,000 <br /> "special projects" grant to develop and produce 5,000 color <br /> brochures on the Hendricks Garden. Michael notified me <br /> yesterday that the grant was successful! <br /> Michael prepared the grant application on behalf of the City <br /> of Eugene Public Works Maintenance, Parks Services division. <br /> The application included two letters of support from prominent <br /> local nurserymen Roger Gossler (Gossler Farms Nursery), and <br /> Harold Greer (Greer Gardens). <br /> The original brochure, printed in 1987, has been out of date <br /> and unfunded by the Garden's budget for the past two years. <br /> Matching funds of $500 are required and will be supplied by <br /> the division. Design work will be done by staff within the <br /> Public Works' Administration division. <br /> The updated brochure will include photos, a map of the Garden, <br /> and informative text on the plant displays along respective <br /> memorial trails. This is the only publication devoted <br /> entirely to promote the internationally -known Hendricks Park <br /> Rhododendron Garden. Congratulations to Michael and us! -Mc <br /> Page 1 <br />
