The Valley of Columbus will establish a paver garden in front of the Scottish Rite Center. It will start at the bottom of the steps on both sides of the front porch and extend to the end of each side of the building. It will be similar to the pavers at the Masonic Children's Home in Macon. This is a great opportunity to support the Valley of Columbus Building Fund by purchasing a paver, and to honor those people or organizations that have a special meaning to you (to include yourself). Order now by selecting the "Paver Program" button below. The minimum donation is $100 per paver (but you can certainly donate more). Ordering instructions can be found on the form.
