BRICKS! AVAILABLE FOR ORDERING!

Several years ago, 2007 to be exact, the Mi Wuk Sugar Pine Fire Protection District Auxiliary (MWSPFPDA) started a fund raiser for the department that has been nicknamed BRICKS.  That's because we were and ARE selling 8" x 8" and 4" x 8" personalized bricks.

Early orders of bricks have been attached to two walls of the Fire Department Building.

Intern Randy Shawda got roped into helping us, cleaning off bricks with a damp rag to remove lime staining.

All the bricks that we had in-house are now on the building.  Next...........more orders for more bricks!

By the way, when all brick are installed, the areas above and below the personalized bricks will be filled in with 'stone' that you can still see above and below some of the bricked areas.

Now I can come back to YOU, the public, homeowners, part time and full time residents:  There is space available on this last wall for about 50 more bricks.  I'll start calling these *limited edition* bricks because there is a finite amount of space left for placing them. 

8" x 8" bricks are $100:  6 lines of text, 20 characters per line.
4" x 8" bricks are $50: 3 lines of text, 20 characters per line.
Leave one space between each word.  Any other information you should need will be on the ordering form.

You can pick up order forms at the fire station most any time of day or by requesting me to mail you one:  blythek@mac.com  

Personalized bricks make great gifts, memorials and are a wonderful way to recognize accomplishments.  The Klipples have two bricks up there:  one for our children and grandchildren and one for the exchange students and European friends we've entertained at our cabin/home in Mi Wuk Village  over the years.  We're contemplating a third one.

As soon as we get 50 bricks ordered, I will be placing our order.  Be the first on "your block" to order your "limited edition" brick.  :)  Support our fabulous Fire Protection District that orchestrated so much community service/information during the Rim Fire as well as opened their doors to all visiting Fire Fighters.  As an Auxiliary member (men and women can join you know!) I am so proud of my department.
