S SO reward for shrub thief

A SSO reward is being offered by the Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce for information leading to the arrest of the person or persons responsible for taking the shrubs that were recently planted at the Syracuse Town Park. The chamber’s board of directors approved the reward unanimously at its Wednesday breakfast meeting, July 2. The shrubs had been planted by the Syracuse Park Board and the Syracuse - Wawasee Garden Club in line with the chamber’s Project Proud. The shrubs were dug up and carted away June 23. The board of directors also approved a letter to be sent to the Syracuse Town Board supporting the park board’s request for funds in 1981. The chamber feels the parks are one of the community’s assets that attracts tourists to the community in the summer. The board of directors accepted the offer for office space from Ganshorn-Plummer, Inc. The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce will have its first office, at no charge, on the second floor of the Ganshorn-Plummer, Inc. building in the 100 block of South Huntington Street. Surrounding communities have maintained offices for their chambers to provide a central place for visitors and residents to obtain statistical material and information concerning the area. The Syracuse-Wawasee Chamber of Commerce hopes the new office will be furnished with additional contributions from chamber members and can be in use by September. The cooperation of the State Highway Department was reviewed and letters of appreciation will be sent to Jane Nearing of the Wawasee Property Owners Association and Jack Spake for supporting the chamber at the recent bridge hearing held with the Indiana State Highway Commission. The

chamber had requested the bridge on SR 13 in Syracuse be repaired during winter rather than closing SR 13 during the summer tourist season. Expenses were approved to send Joe Gray and Alex Christofides to a meeting concerning the organization of Local Development Companies (LDC). The Syracuse-Wawasee Area Development Council will reimburse the cost after they are organized. The Area Development Council will meet Thursday, July 10, to finalize the application for a not-for-profit corporation, LDC, from the Internal Revenue Service and complete the papers to incorporate.
