A community represents patient, piecemeal growth where the individual act is always helping to create
or generate the patterns which will over the years make the community what it is.

The cycle of community regeneration begins each time someone in the community saves
an architectural treasure from oblivion and degeneration and returns it to valuable use.

Ted VanAcker, D.O. of Southern Illinois
Dermatology, has purchased the venerable

plus a Recumbent Lion & Plinth, LS 9329 and

Community enhancement begins with a few small steps: committed persons, fund-raising, grant writing,
sweat and muscle donation and, eventually, flowers planted in beautiful containers.
