Please print the order form found below to reserve your brick placement in our grouping. A "Buddy-UP" brick can accomodate 2-3 names sharing one brick. The cost is $50 and $75 shared with your buddy.

The equipment with five year maintenance contract was well received after a several year wait. The Bong Son Library Project had received a $450 check from the 61^st Assault Helicopter Company August 2016 fund drive. It was presented to Chuck Theusch at the 61^st A.H.C. Cornfield reunion in late September, 2016.

The Lucky Star Library is just over a four thousand square foot structure. The computers were installed in a large activities room dedicated to computer and video training applications.
