Looking for a unique gift idea this holiday season? Give the gift of appreciation. The Valparaiso Parks Foundation invites the community to purchase commemorative bricks to be placed at the base of the Service Memorial at Veterans and Volunteers Plaza. The commemorative bricks, which cost $85 each and have enough room for 39 characters/spaces, can be engraved with a customized message. The message may honor a veteran or someone who serves the community, thank a special teacher or volunteer, recognize a dear friend or loved one, or simply demonstrate support for this important place in the community. For more information, call the Valparaiso Parks Office at 462-5144.
