Spring Garden Walk 

On May 17, 2006, the new Clarkson College Service League Heritage Garden was dedicated. Many have taken the opportunity to recognize love-ones and events through purchase of memorial bricks, boulders and amphitheatre seats which have been placed in the garden. 

On Friday, May 16, 2008, all those who have purchased memorial items for the Garden since its dedication and their honorees are to be recognized at the Spring Garden Walk, which is slated to become an annual event.  

Won't you join us?  

You still have time to participate in purchasing a brick, boulder or amphitheater seat. Proceeds support the Clarkson Service Scholarships for our students.
