Project Status as of August 31, 2007

We currently are in the initial phase of our project, which includes developing and reviewing preliminary designs, scouting possible locations for the tribute, creating an estimate of expenses, producing PR materials, and discussing possible fundraising activities/events.

Our class has been broken down into subcommittees to focus on different aspects of our project. Our subcommittees include:

*Design/Research
*Installation
*Site Selection
*Finance
*PR/Fundraising

Although we are in the early stages of the project, we do know that in order for us to construct a tribute that is worthy of the piece of history that the City of Redondo Beach has received, we are going to need significant funding from outside sources. There will be many different sponsorship opportunities available, and we will make sure that everyone who contributes will be recognized for their donation.

We are in need of both monetary and in-kind donations. To make a contribution or for more information please email Tom Krafick at LRB.tribute@gmail.com.
