Tuesday, 17 June 2008 |
Last night a large crowd gathered for the official dedication of the band stand in Myers Park from the Lansing Lion's Club to the Town of Lansing. Supervisor Scott Pinney, Councilpeople Connie Wilcox, Matt Besemer, and Marty Christopher were on hand along with Parks Superintendent Steve Colt to be part of the ceremony.
 Lin Davidson and Char Wilson
"We put together an idea, and the idea came into fruition, said
outgoing President Lin Davidson. "Today the Lansing Lions would like
to convey the gazebo to the Town. There's no key to the gazebo, so we
can't hand you the key, but it is now the Town's."
Davidson was
awarded a plaque for serving as club president for three years. Betty
Ellis and Noni Krom were awarded Lion of the Year. Char Wilson was
awarded 'Citizen of the Year' for her leadership in bringing the
gazebo-style band stand from concept to reality.

Lansing Lions Raise Money for Band Stand |
|

The Lansing Lions are raising money to build a band stand in Myers
Park. This continues a long tradition for the Lansing Lions, who
constructed many of the pavilions in the park and even donated the
Community Center to the town. The club is working with the Town
to pick just the right design and location in Myers.
 This is the sort of look the Town Parks Department hopes for
Businesses
or individuals may contribute $250.00 or more to the project and get a
plaque that will be displayed on the finished structure.
Naturally smaller donations are welcome, and the Lions are raising
money for the project in other ways as well. The "Lansing Throw"
sale is one way funds are being raised.
Originally the
club hoped to build a band stand for about $10,000, but the cost could
be as high as $40,000. However Park Superintendent Steve Colt
says that he thinks this approximate look can be achieved for a lot
less. He is currently pricing alternatives with an eye toward
getting the price down.
