Mount Pleasant Chapel:
A Labor of Love
Thanks to the enthusiasm of donors, volunteers and
community leaders, the groundbreaking for the Chapel
at Mount Pleasant – originally planned for the spring of
2008 – has been moved up to fall of 2007! Donors have
committed the $1.5 million goal for the project, and
because of their generosity we can break ground on this
much-anticipated project.
Marian Snook, longtime resident, donor and leadership
volunteer, was one of three Honorary Tri-Chairs for
the campaign, along with Verla McClure and the late
Rosemary Vordenberg. The most outspoken and motivated
supporter of the chapel, Marian gave the naming gift for
the chapel balcony, which will be named The Marian and
Doris Snook Balcony, also paying tribute to her sister.
While remaining humble and modest about her giving,
Marian’s excitement and enthusiasm for the chapel was
unparalleled. With the support of local clergy in the
Monroe/Middletown area, the passion of campaign
volunteer leadership and the dedication of residents, this
important part of life at Mount Pleasant is taking shape.
Marian passed away in June 2007, however, the many
memorial gifts made in her name and designated in
support of the chapel have ensured that Marian’s legacy
continues, and her dream is realized for all of her neighbors
at Mount Pleasant.
