Mill Creek Towne Entrance Walls Repair Fundraiser
Past photos of Roslyn and Miller Fall entrances in need of repair.
Hello Mill Creek Towne Neighbors,
Your help is greatly needed with a community problem. The original entrance walls that identify our community as Mill Creek Towne are in a state of deterioration. One entrance wall, consisting of a center wall and two side walls, is located at Roslyn Avenue and Redland Road and is on Montgomery County property. The other entrance wall, consisting of two side walls, is located at Miller Fall Road and Muncaster Mill Road and is on Maryland State property. Both the county and the state have been approached and have declined to provide the much needed repairs and maintenance, stating that this is the responsibility of the community.
These entrance walls are more than fifty years old and, for all of that time, The Mill Creek Towne Garden Club (MCTGC) has been the caretakers of the entrances. We provide annual care with plantings either by doing regular maintenance work ourselves or engaging the assistance of professional workers.
The MCTGC has employed stonemasons at a few different times over the years to do small repair jobs on the entrance walls as needed; however, the MCTGC cannot bear the financial burden required to do the major repair work that is needed at this time.
The MCTGC is willing to head up the project and has begun the process of gathering estimates. There is an estimate of $1,300 for a temporary fix, as we have done in the past. This will still leave the entrance walls vulnerable to the elements. Other estimates range from $4,000, to upwards of $6,500, for a more complete and long-term fix. We will continue to entertain other estimates and are open to recommendations from the community. We cannot commit to any one of the estimates at this time because we must wait until we see how much the community will support.
This, of course, is where contributions from community members are essential. There is a need for 100% participation in this project, as we will all benefit from maintaining our community. We are suggesting a donation of $15.00 from each household. Please contribute, as you are able, to fund the repair of the community entrance walls. If our entrances begin to fall into decay and neglect, this will adversely affect the appearance of our community and lower our property values. MCTGC will set up a separate fund for the contributions.
If you have questions, ideas or concerns, please contact the MCTGC at mctgc@mctgardenclub.org
Thank you for your support!
