University
plates, bricks
make great holiday gifts
Here’s
a couple of holiday gift ideas that will support a good cause while
also making somebody on your list very happy: University of Montana
license plates and personalized bricks on the Oval.
At only $32.50, UM license plates are an affordable gift that also
gives something back to the University community. The full-color plates
come in two designs: Main Hall or a Montana Griz logo. UM license
plates — available only for vehicles registered in Montana —
may be purchased at any Montana Motor Vehicle Division.
Funds from license plate sales sustain an endowment that currently
provides more than $50,000 per year in general and Presidential Leadership
Scholarships for UM students.
Centennial Circle Bricks cost $150 each and may be engraved with up
to three lines of 14 characters per line. Centennial Circle, established
in 1993 when UM-Missoula celebrated its 100th birthday, surrounds
Rudy Autio’s landmark grizzly bear statue located on the western
edge of the UM Oval.
The circle is paved with red bricks that may be engraved with the
names of students, alumni, family members, friends, teachers and anyone
else who merits special recognition. Brief messages also are an option.
Proceeds from brick sales go toward special UM projects and marketing.
