DEDICATION OF PAVILION IN CITY PARK

Salisbury Mayor James Ireton, Jr., is pleased to announce that there will be a dedication ceremony for the new pavilion in the City Park on Saturday, June 13, 2009, at 9:00 a.m. The new pavilion is located near the Bandstand.

The construction of this pavilion is a project of the three Rotary Clubs in Salisbury – The Salisbury Club, The Wicomico Club, and The Sunrise Club. Each of the three Rotary Clubs contributed funds for the project.

This project was a true community effort. Thanks go to the following local companies whose generous contributions of time and materials made this project possible: Thoro-good’s Concrete, Stone Concrete, Lifetime Masonry, Peninsula Roofing, Pro Coat, and Gillis Gilkerson, Inc. Also, a special thanks to Connie Strott, Chairperson of the Wicomico Rotary Beautification Committee, for spearheading this project. The City of Salisbury’s Winter Wonderland of Lights Committee also contributed to this project. The personalized bricks sold to raise funds for the Winter Wonderland of Lights are now part of the pavilion’s foundation.

As the famous philanthropist Andrew Carnegie was quoted as saying, “Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision. The ability to direct individual accomplishments toward organizational objectives. It is the fuel that allows common people to attain uncommon results.”
