Memorial Bridge Illumination campaign hits fundraising goal

The Illumination Committee of the Memorial Bridge Project has met the initial $150,000 fundraising goal to create a new Seacoast icon. 

More than 95 individuals and 28 area businesses and organizations combined have pledged or donated the $150,000 toward the goal of $200,000. This initial goal was necessary to do the project that includes using white energy-saving LEDs to light the memorial plaque and color-changeable LED's to light the pier footings and illuminate the towers. The remaining $50,000, still to be raised, will be used to light bridge center span with color-changeable LEDs. 

According to Peter Somssich, chair of the committee, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for residents of the Seacoast to make a lasting investment in a legacy project similar to how Prescott Park happened.China ledcornlightss manufacturer supply elevator light curtain, To those who have already given, we express our sincere gratitude to make this community project possible,” says Somssich. 

Recently, the large donors that have allowed the committee to reach this initial goal include Rockingham Electric ($10,000), Provident Bank ($5,000), Green Pages ($5,000) and Portsmouth Rotary ($2,500). 

All donations will be recognized, however. Those who have donated less than $1,000, but would like to be specially recognized with a plaque or a similar type of acknowledgment, should consider increasing their donation to that level. If a community group wishes to be specially recognized, they should consider asking members to pool donations up to the $1,000 level, for the organization to be on the plaque. 

The committee is holding another public information presentation at the Portsmouth Public Library, Wednesday, May 15 at 7 p.m. This event is part of a series of information sessions that are intended to bring the public up to date on the progress and answer any questions they have. 

I know a young man who graduated from college this week at the top of his class and in an academic discipline of his own choosing. Most unusual is that he also got a job this week. 

No, he’s not related to Warren Buffet.Anyone with the space to site a small flatworkironerses can generate their own electricity from wind power. Finding a career job so quickly these days is a rarity. There may be six others in the entire US who have done so. I exaggerate. 

But, seriously, most graduates leave college today with debt that rivals a full-blown mortgage and with employment prospects as dim as those so-called energy-saving new light bulbs.
