Foundation — **Working hardf fast and right**
New Site Plan
Overwhelmingly Approved
Resounding approval from
all the participating institu
tions greeted the site plan
presented by Don Lee and
Rob Jolly of the firm of
Dellinger and Lee. The plan
(shown in the center pages of
this paper) addfes'ses itself
to a number of issues and of
fers excellent solutions. The
symetric balance of the pro
posed sites emphasizes the
equality of the participating
institutions. Children atten
ding education classes in the
education-recreation
building will have easy walk
ing access and a clear view of
the sanctuaries. The full
beauty of the complex and
the prominence of the
Temples will be oriented
toward Providence Road for
maximu n impact. Athletic
fields and courts will be plac
ed in a setting especially con
ducive to quality participa
tion and noise control. Final
ly, ample acreage has been
left undeveloped in anticipa
tion of future community
needs.

feel we have the full
understanding and coopera
tion of the participants.
There is a sense that this is
the time, right now, to make
this project happen', and we
are going to do just that. We
are going to work hard and
fast and right.”
