Last Call for Bricks This Year

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

DEADLINE TO RESERVE YOUR 2023 BRICK IS FRIDAY, SEPT. 22, 2023
EMAIL CMMMCUTKNIFE@GMAIL.COM

To make arrangements for bricks to be inscribed this year, we need to contact Rose City Memorials in advance, so they can schedule the onsite work. The work needs to be done before temperatures drop, or snow arrives.

Four – five more reserved bricks are needed. Individuals will be contacted this weekend if inscriptions are to go ahead this fall. Inscription and payment info will be required within days of notification.

Reservations will carry over to next year, if insufficient numbers are reached by Friday.

Tomahawk Park Bricks 2023

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

6 RESERVATIONS | 6 MORE NEEDED

The cost to purchase a 1 – 2 line inscription on a Tomahawk Park brick is $100, with a portion of that going towards the cost of inscribing the brick on site by Rose City Memorials. To maximize the donation portion of the purchase, we wait until we have at least 12 bricks reserved. Currently, 6 bricks are waiting for the next round of inscriptions, which will hopefully be this year before the first snowfall.

Once we have 12 bricks on the list, the museum will contact individuals for payment, and for the text of their inscriptions.

Inscriptions: Each brick holds 2 lines of text. Character count per line is 17.
Payment: Must be received before the bricks are sand blasted. Cash, cheque, or e-transfer accepted.

To purchase an inscription, please email cmmmcutknife@gmail.com to be added to this year’s list. The purchaser will receive a tax donation receipt for $50. (For more about the Brick Fundraiser, click here and scroll through previous posts.)

Update: New Friends

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

Rob Waldner (Rose City Memorials) timed it perfectly. On the last fine day of October, just before the temperatures dropped, Rob set up his equipment in Tomahawk Park. He brought the compressor, the portable sand pot, his protective gear, and the rubber stencils with the names of the Museum’s newest Friends. 11 of the bricks in the granite mosaic were inscribed this year. Of course, the bricks and just about everything else in Saskatchewan, are totally covered with snow right now, but Rob did take photos of the work done that day.

Happily, we had much more interest than anticipated, and a list has already been started for next year! For more information about the CMMM’s Friends of Tomahawk Park fundraising initiative, please click here.

Friends of Tomahawk Park 2022

Clayton McLain Memorial Museum

Let’s get the bricks inscribed before the snow flies!

In 2012, as part of the Town of Cut Knife’s Centennial, the Friends of Tomahawk Park fundraising initiative was created. This is a landscaped spot along the walking path, which has at its centre, a large area paved with grey granite bricks. Many bricks have already been inscribed with the names of supporters, and many still remain blank.

The cost to have your name, and a partner’s or additional family member’s name, put on a brick is $100, with a portion of that going towards the cost of inscribing the brick on site by Rose City Memorials. To maximize the donation portion of the purchase, we wait until 10 to 12 bricks are ready to be sandblasted. Currently, 3 supporters have been waiting for a while to see their names added to Friends of Tomahawk Park. Who else is interested in a brick? Let’s get a dozen inscribed before the snow flies!

Take a walk through Tomahawk Park and the Museum grounds on the next nice day. It’s a beautiful spot and well worth maintaining. The CMMM celebrated its 50th Anniversary last year. Its longevity is directly linked to the support we receive from individuals and families with a link to this area.

To purchase an inscription, please email cmmmcutknife@gmail.com, or speak with Lyle Cronk, Town Council Representative on the Museum Board, who is overseeing this. The purchaser will receive a tax donation receipt for $50.
