Project: Community Water Feature and Courtyard Description: The water feature consists of water flowing from and over large boulders onto 2' river rock in which are planted aquatic plants. The water is reclaimed below ground and pumped back through the large boulders. The fountain will be located in the middle of a lovely brick courtyard that features four benches in each corner and four raised flower boxes placed at 90 degree angles at all four ends. Two artistic misting features are located on either side of the fountain between the benches. The benches will be sponsored for $750 each and the flower boxes for $1500 each. The bricks that make up the courtyard are engraved with the donator's information for $45 per brick.

Our reason for supporting the "Community Water Feature and Courtyard Project" is that we feel this project benefits all of our citizens, enhances our park, and serves as a gathering place for the community. In 2009, La Pine Cohort 2 installed a play area nearby and we feel these two projects work together well and help us to fulfill our mission as an organization.
