A suggestion to let all who wish have a part in preservation About: Preservation is for future generations By Richard Raines Does anyone remember churches having (what we called) a penny march? Some still have them. The idea was not to have someone put in large amounts of money, just pocket change or an occasional dollar bill or two. The money might not be very much for one Sunday, but different churches would use the money for different purposes (as an offering for the home for children, missions, building fund, youth activities, etc) However, over a period of time, this little dab here and there added up to enough to do something. I know that almost everyone's money is tight right now, and there are very few people who could contribute a large amount of money toward courthouse restoration/preservation. But if some individual or group could step up to the plate and oversee collection containers in the community, I believe that most people could (at least occasionally) contribute a little bit to the fund - even if it is just a little pocket change. It might not amount to much, but a little h!here and a little there would eventually add up. Our community sends quite a bit of money to the Crusade for Children, and Relay for Life each year, not to mention money contributed for other causes. We helped the Adair County Band raise money to go to New York City last Thanksgiving, and members of the community chipped in to help Lindsey Wilson College buy Pinewood. Our courthouse is a majestic old building. One or two people cannot save this building from going down or restore it to the grandeur it deserves, but if we all pull together, we can manage to stabilize it and hopefully restore it.-Richard Raines This story was posted on 2010-10-04 04:10:05
