ASCENT FOUNTAIN

"Ascent Fountain honors service to community. It speaks to the accomplishment of goals, as well as the motivating and mentoring of others. The soaring eagles symbolize the synergies that lift and encourage the aspirations of others. The lone eagle represents the difference one person can make by mentoring, encouraging, and motivating others with dedicated service to family, community, and nation. Ken Slipka, by his exemplary achievements in all of these areas, was the inspiration for Ascent Fountain." (2016)

Foster Willey, Jr., Sculptor
