A propos de cet article

Dust jacket complete. Original cloth boards with bright gilt titling on spine and upper cover. No ownership marks. Colour plates. B/w photographs. 322 pages clean and tight. About the City of Fountains Foundation. WHILE sitting in front of Rome's Trevi Fountain in 1972, relaxing and enjoying it, my wife, Peggy, and I first discussed the idea of an organization to support Kansas City's fountains. Upon our return we approached civic leaders, friends, business associates and members of city government, to test the concept and solicit active participation. The City of Fountains Foundation plan was popular and the effort was launched by a resolution signed by Mayor Charles B. Wheeler, jr., on March 9, 1974. The Foundation's initial fountain was given to the city in 1977. The Foundation's objectives are: Develop a long-range plan to build fountains for the city. Make Kansas City internationally famous for its fountains. Develop and sustain a high level of interest and pride by Kansas City residents and businesses in their fountains. Provide major maintenance for Kansas City's fountains. Encourage and assist other groups to undertake individual fountain projects: Outstanding examples of group endeavors to build fountains are the Spirit of Freedom Fountain (the dream of the late civic leader, Bruce Watkins) and the Vietnam War Memorial and Fountain now under construction. From 1977 to 1985, the Foundation has developed or participated in the development of seven fountains, and is currently building its maintenance endowment. The Foundation's directors have worked with dedication and purpose. All have contributed personal resources and creative direction. Charles Garney and Anita Gorman recently demonstrated the impact of enthusiastic leadership with the completion of the popular Northland Fountain. Our Foundation, in its eleventh year, has reached maturity. It is now ready to expand its board membership and intensify its programs to solidify Kansas City's premier position as THE City of Fountains. This first edition of Fountains of Kansas City will increase in value, since only 6,000 have been printed for national distribution. Size: Sm 4to.…
