SPP Signs to See the Light

In December, SPPCC was awarded another matching grant from the City of Houston to help
us install solar lighting at the neighborhood’s 12 entrance signs. Last year we received our
first matching grant, providing funds to replace and paint the wood signs and repair
masonry. The SPPCC board is currently investigating appropriate solar lighting systems to
purchase for this project and how to address the shade from trees that exists at some of
entrances. If all goes as expected, Installation of the solar lighting will take place in the
spring.

Each City of Houston grant requires that SPPCC raise matching funds from residents and
sponsors. Last year, we received tremendous support, and we again are inviting our
residents to sponsor a light for an entrance sign. The estimated cost for each lighting
package is estimated at $400—you can help purchase the equipment with a $200
sponsorship. Volunteers will handle the Installation. We will recognize our sponsors in
upcoming issues of the Plaza Pulse as well as at the Spring Fling in March. Thanks in
advance for your support!

If you would like to be a sponsor, please mail your donation for $200 to:
Shepherd Park Plaza Civic Club | Attn: John Mills, Treasurer | P.O. Box 10453, Houston TX, 77206
Please indicate that your payment is for the solar lighting project.
