If you’re feeling like doing a little something extra for your neighborhood, you’re in luck! Earlewood is launching two fundraising campaigns for Fall 2012.
Adopt a Tree for the Amphitheater
Anyone who has been to the amphitheater in Earlewood Park in June or July knows how hot it gets! ECCO is raising money to plant 8 trees at the top of the the amphitheater and 6 trees around the stage to provide some much-needed shade. We need to raise $1,700 for all of the trees.

National Humane Alliance Fountain plaque and Elizabeth Glover Davis Garden Marker
The National Humane Alliance Fountain stood in Earlewood Park from around 1950 to 1980, and through the tireless efforts of Earlewood residents, the fountain has returned to our neighborhood. With the fountain’s return, the Earlewood Community Citizens Organization is working to ensure that the fountain’s rich history is preserved for generations to come by erecting an plaque detailing the story of the fountain and it’s significance to Earlewood and Columbia.
The fountain is placed inside a small garden that will be named for Elizabeth Glover Davis, a resident of Earlewood for most of her life, who played a huge role in the push to bring the fountain back to our lovely park. Mrs. Davis has been a dedicated member of the Earlewood Community Citizens Organization since its inception, and has been one of the neighborhood’s biggest advocates. A marker will be placed in the garden to indicate the naming in her honor. We need to raise $2,000 for both the historical plaque and the garden marker.
