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.
"Sometimes people get ideas and they just talk about them," Davidson said. "That doesn't happen with Char. All of a sudden there were some pictures by John Dean, and those pictures all of a sudden got into John Moravec's hands, a Lion and a master builder. His son in law John Manuel came back with plans and pictures and all of a sudden there was a job to do."
