6 SAVE THE TROPICS SIGN The purpose of the Save the Tropics Sign project is to preserve an important piece of Lincoln and Logan County s Route 66 history in order to increase the number of tourists who visit the area. As a committee of the Logan County Tourism Bureau, the Save the Tropics Sign Committee has a goal of $50,000 for the project. The money collected from donations will help restore the sign, replace the footing, install new neon bulbs, transport the sign, and install it to its new resting place. The Committee is also using funds to keep the sign maintained as it ages and to pay for the electricity it uses. In order to meet our mission and provide this service to our community, we rely on the generosity of individuals and businesses for support. Without the assistance of communityminded individuals, we wouldn t be able to fulfill our mission. We appreciate your consideration in contributing to this project.
