Friends of Chrisholm Founder’s Garden Donations
2020 marks the 25th anniversary of the founding of Friends of Chrisholm. Recently, two of the original founders and key contributors to its success over their years of service, Carl Jantzen and Doris L. Page passed away. The families of both Carl and Doris have designated the Friends of Chrisholm as a charitable organization for in memory donations. The board of the Friends of Chrisholm, partnering with MetroParks of Butler County, would like to use the proceeds from those donations toward funding a Pollinator Garden at the Chrisholm site in honor of all its original Founders. Planning efforts are underway. If you would like to make a donation to the Friends of Chrisholm to honor Carl, Doris, and its Founders and help make this installation a great addition to the Chrisholm MetroPark, you may donate on line at www.chrisholmhistoricfarmstead.org or send your donation to: Friends of Chrisholm P.O. Box 234 Trenton, OH 45067
