Drive Begun to Rebuild Memorial to Veterans
The Fullerton Emblem Club 469 is raising $30,000 in Fullerton to construct a granite memorial to Fullerton servicemen who died in World War I, World War II, Korea and Vietnam.
An existing memorial, built of redwood, has decayed beyond repair. The club has raised about $15,000 and has plans for many upcoming events to generate necessary funds, including a fireworks booth at Placentia Avenue and Yorba Linda Boulevard for the Fourth of July.
Also, Consolidated Finance in Fullerton contributed $2,000, and a benefit dinner in May for the Veterans Memorial Project netted $1,000.
Donations may be sent to the Fullerton Emblem Club Veterans Memorial, P.O. Box 3401, Fullerton, Calif. 92634. Checks should be made payable to the Fullerton Emblem Club Veterans Memorial.
The club hopes to dedicate the new memorial this fall. For information, call (714) 526-3039 or (714) 738-6589.
