Brick and Paver Program Policies
- Bricks and pavers are donations and are considered property of WPAOG.
- Bricks are limited to 3 lines of twelve characters per line.
- Pavers are limited to 6 lines of thirteen characters per line.
- Spaces count as characters.
- Fonts are chosen by WPAOG. All letters are the same size and capitalized, no bold or italics.
- Graphics are not permitted.
- Bricks can only be ordered in standard red, and pavers can only be ordered in standard gray. Pavers are natural stone and coloring may vary.
- All inscriptions are public in nature. No private or coded inscriptions are permitted. WPAOG reserves the right to approve all inscriptions.
- WPAOG reserves the right to reposition bricks or pavers at its sole discretion.
- Installations are scheduled to occur biannually. The dates and times are determined by the program manager.
- The order deadline for Spring installation is March 1 and July 1 for Fall installation.
- WPAOG will replace severely worn brick and pavers. Wear and tear replacements are determined by the program manager.
- Inscription errors on the part of the donor are the responsibility of the donor. Errors on the part of WPAOG staff will be remedied at no cost to the donor during the next installation.
- If a group of individuals raises funds or pools personal funds for the purpose of making a donation to WPAOG, recognition credit and the tax deduction in the full amount will be given only to the individual or entity making the actual donation (i.e., the person signing the check or submitting the credit card). If each individual wishes to receive recognition credit and a tax receipt, each individual must write a check or submit cash/a money order with a list of names and gift amounts to be credited to each individual.
- Requests for installed bricks or pavers to be removed and replaced, with the purpose of changing the inscription, are treated as new purchases.
- Bricks purchased for graduates or their family members, as well as for former cadets, will be placed in their Class section. If the Class year is stated on the brick (i.e., Class of 1980/1980/’80), the graduating status of new graduates must be confirmed, and bricks for former cadets must read x-Class of 1980/x-1980/x-’80/etc.
- Payment must be received in full prior to installation.
- Staff will attempt to accommodate special placements within an area. However, bricks and pavers will be placed at the discretion of the WPAOG Brick and Paver Program.
- With approval from WPAOG, flowers may be placed at the site of a brick or paver for a short period of time, but they cannot block any egress or pathway.
