the six planters as
they were starting
to deteriorate.

The Memorial Forest is a program carried on by the
Lucknow & District Lions Club to commemorate the
life of a loved one by planting a tree - a living memo-
rial that will grow and flourish over the years. Each
tree in the forest will be in memory of a loved one or
friend. A tree symbolizes a new beginning and is a
living tribute to those who have suffered loss. A
plaque will list the names for whom that tree was
planted. This program is open to everyone. The
species and location of each tree is determined by the
original plan. Trees will be native to .the general area.
Current cost is $300 for the tree and planting.
TREES WILL BE
PLANTED IN OCTOBER.
