present.
Please read Status as of July 1, 2008
Contributors and others helping to bring this project to
fruition are urged to take part in an important follow-up. Using the PLEDGE
form the location of the Parker County Time Capsule is passed on to young
members in your family or trusted friends residing in Parker County. By
joining the Pledge drive, periodic visits to the site are recommended. Of
course, the current owner of the 6301 Veal Station Road property will be
asked for permission to enter the property. After about 4-5 entries in the
pledge form, the time to recover the time capsule should be reached. Both
the North Texas University and the Weatherford Library will be
contacted to to have the capsule removed.
Please show your support by answering this email.. In the SUBJECT line enter SEND INFORMATION.
You will receive a copy
of the Pledge Form and the simple instructions about using it. You will also
get information about an illustrated article that will be published in
Parker County publication.
We look forward to receive 10 replies to the emails. If this number
is reached by August 1, 2008, a name will be drawn
at random. The winner of this drawing will receive an exact duplicate of the
Plaque attached to the marker pyramid.
Last, but not least, here is our appeal for donations to
off-set some of the last minute expenses which were incurred when a
contractor with heavy equipment had to be hired twice (once, to excavate the
5 foot deep hole in the ground with many large boulders, and again to
cover the capsule with the small mountain of boulders and dirt. The total
for this job was $200.00. With just SSI as income this out-go is
substantial.
Other expenses to build the permanent maker pyramid,
gasoline for the many trips around the county to make about 256 road side
photos and the purchase of microfilm and darkroom supplies were gladly borne
by the capsule project planners and initiators and spread over 6 months..
