The Plymouth Community Veterans Memorial Park Committee wishes to thank the Plymouth community for your support of the Veterans Park. We especially want to thank each and every one of you who purchased either an engraved gray Veterans paver or an engraved red commemorative paver. Pavers are now being installed twice yearly; in the Spring before Memorial Day (end of May) and in the Fall before Veterans Day (November 11). It takes about 45 days to process and produce engraved pavers. To guarantee that your paver will be installed at one of those times* it is necessary that your Kay Hahn of Garden City and grandsons Andrew and Tyler pose with her Garden City Observer while order for a paver be received at least 60 days prior to an installation date. vacationing at San Carlos Beach in Monterey, Calif., in July. If you go on vacation, be sure to take a picture with your Garden City Observer and send it to Sue Mason, 36251 Schoolcraft, Livonia, Ml 48150. Be sure to Thank you for your ongoing support. The city provided the park land but include your name and information about where your photograph was taken. the establishment of the park was done solely with private contributions. Ordinary park maintenance is done by the city as is done for all other city parks. Your help is still needed to sustain and maintain the Plymouth Community Veterans Memorial Park. Through the engraved paver program we hope to raise additional funds to make additional improvements in the park such as replacing the badly deteriorating stone wall in the rear of the park and other future needs as they arise. To do this we want to establish a perpetual maintenance fund that will guarantee a pristine park into the Senior Alliance hosts future. Order forms may be downloaded from our website at http:// www.plymouthIibrary.org/pcvmpc or you can pick up an order form at Plymouth City Hall, Plymouth Historical Museum and many businesses around town or in the park itself.

volunteer to Peace Corps
BYT0NYBRUSCAT0 STAFF WRITER
When Dave Hannon graduated last spring from Michigan State University's James Madison College with a degree in international relations, he didn't know where his career path would lead him. However, the Salem High School graduate did know one thing. "I was not ready to get a job and work 9-5," said Hannon, 21. The other option — which he chose — was the Peace Corps, where he's currently training as a com munity development volunteer in Kazakhstan, the second-largest republic in the former Soviet Union. '1dig the Peace Corps, it's a good thing to do," said Hannon before leaving Aug. 19 forhi s 27-month tour of duty. "It seemed like a good thing to do, go abroad while I'm young and give back by helping out." Kazakhstan might not be the first choice of many volunteers, and it certainly wasn't Hannon's. "My first option was the Pacific Islands," said Hannon. "I figured I'd spend two years in Fiji, but that didn't happen. "They came back and offered me six options, so I WS-«r .1. ' chose Eastern Europe," he said Armed with information that most of the Peace Corps volunteers in Eastern Europe went to Romania, Hannon wrote his senior project on Romania "to get me prepared." Apparently the Peace Corps had a different idea of what constitutes Eastern Europe. "I foundou t the Peace Corps kind of puts together Eastern Europe and Central Asia," Hannon said. LL BRESLERI STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER "Kazakhstan is loosely Eastern Europe. "I called back to ask if Fiji was an option," he said.
