By Pam Pomanto, Parkesburg Lion Club President
I want to
take this opportunity to thank Parkesburg Borough Manager Jim Thomas, for enabling theParkesburg
Lions Club to hold their annual Fire Company Fair bingo.
Upon
arriving at Minch Park to set up for our event for the July 4th fair week, it
was evident that the lighting in the pavilion was damaged and the possibilities
of having our bingo was slim to none.
We went to
see Jim in his office and told him of our demise and he gravely told me that my
assumption of not having bingo this year was right on target, BUT that he would
look into it and get back to us quickly.
I called our
then-president to meet me at the pavilion to decide what our next option would
be. As we were thinking up ways to set
up temporary lighting, Jim Thomas walked from the Borough Hall and came down to
the pavilion with good news.
Now my
previous conversation with Jim was only 2 hours old and with a big grin on his
face, he told us “not to worry, the new lights would be installed in 48
hours!!!"
I want to
take this opportunity to "thank" Borough Manager Jim for a job well
done. It's not easy being the
Manager of a borough as there are so many incidents that need his attention,
but the Parkesburg Lions Club would like to take our hats off to him for
helping put on our bingo.
There were
many people wandering around the first night looking to play bingo and we find
that it is a wonderful fund raiser for our club and the community enjoys it as
well.
Again,
thanks Jim!
