Let's Memorialize Our Friend, Emma

Please give $1 (~ONE DOLLAR~) toward the purchase of a brick in the Destin History and Fishing Museum, "Footprints in the Sand" pathway. The cost of the brick is $75, but there are so many who remember her, that $1 is enough. Any moneys collected over the $75 will go to Emma. (Donations are not tax deductible). The paver stone brick will read: EMMA IRBY, "THE HELP OF DESTIN" from 1965-1993 THANK YOU! HAVE A GREAT DAY!
