The Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier
presents its
"Adopt a Landmark" Project

A survey of members' favorite built and natural local landmarks creating a webpage and a virtual plaque

Purpose

As part of its mission to enhance appreciation of the built and natural landmarks on the Niagara Frontier, the Landmark Society is sponsoring this web-based "Adopt a Landmark" Project to make particular landmarks special to each member of the Society and to create an Internet presence for chosen favorites.

How It Works

Members are asked to select, in order of preference, up to 10 of their favorite built or natural landmarks located on the Niagara Frontier. Each favorite landmark chosen by members will have its own website containing an image of the property or site and a virtual plaque describing relevant historical, cultural, and architectural information.

Regardless of membership level, all members selecting a particular landmark will be listed on the web page by membership category (membership categories and survey) to the point that space permits. When space limits have been reached for members' first choice, they will be listed on the web page of their second or subsequent landmark choice.

Please note that funds generated by this project represent membership in the Landmark Society; they do not go toward support of the chosen landmark.

Sponsorship of the virtual plaque on each website is available only to Niagara Frontier Landmarker members ($500 membership level) . All members in the Investor Class and above ($75 and above) will be listed with a link to their personal or professional web site. To guarantee your personal landmark and Web page, consider membership in the Society at the $500 level. Individual listings will continue based on continued membership.

The project was created through the joint efforts of Dennis Galucki, Executive Director, and Chuck LaChiusa, Board member and webmaster of the Landmark Society of the Niagara Frontier.

The Landmark Society believes that this "Adopt a Landmark" Project, inaugurated in September of 2004, is the first web-based project of its kind. Other not-for-profit organizations may adopt this concept for their purposes, provided they credit the Society (http://www.landmark-niagara.org/) with its origination.
