* Miss Toquerville Pageant

February 15, 2008 RE:     Toquerville City             Donations Request TO:      Citizens of Toquerville:   The City of Toquerville is sending a letter of invitation for donations to help cover the costs of our Veteran’s Memorial and Nativity purchase – two wonderful additions for our City and proudly displayed at the Historic Town Hall.   Our new Veteran’s Memorial included costs of the granite, installation, and street side imprinting of names, provided by the Wayne Olds family.  They also prepared the east side of the granite with the header to add additional names of which we are very grateful. The engraving of new names was estimated at $25 each; due to the request of service information, the cost went to $35 at completion, leaving the City a balance of $463.  We are very proud to have collected $1,287 from citizens who have names on the Monument; including donations from those without names.   Our beautiful new fiberglass Nativity display costs were $3,398.20 – after many years of using a deteriorated and donated display, our decorating Committee acquired this wonderful addition to the Town Hall Lighting collection.  We have heard many appreciative comments from our families who came to experience our Outdoor Lighting Ceremony this past December.  Our cost collections have only reached $1,530 towards the monies spent; our goal is to collect another $1,800.    There are so many of our citizenry who have volunteered to help us with their labor and monies when we are in need; the City is very grateful for their dedication and service; we would also be most grateful for any size donation given for these City projects.   Sincerely,   ___________________________ Ken Powell , Mayor Toquerville City  KP/cp

The 2006 Miss Toquerville Pageant was Friday, March 31^st, at Hurricane High School.
