The Memorial to the War of 1812 Was Renovated in Just Two Weeks

                           
Public Relations Chair, and President Kathy Miller before digging out all of the weeds that you see there. What a job.

Kathy and Phyllis bagged all the bulbs and weeds in plastic bags. Some very nice City of Southport employees came by later and picked up all of the bags so we didn't have to take them home and throw the bags out. 












Randy Jones, Director of Tourism for the city of Southport and a project consultant arranged to have the surrounding area enlarged, posts and ropes replaced. The flowers were planted by the City of Southport Beautification Committee.

Jim McKee, Site Manage of Brunswick Town/Fort Anderson and committee consultant, cleaned the inscription and the monument base.
