Public Meeting Shows High Level Of
Support For New Community Centre
A very well attended public
meeting at the Lucknovv Town Hall
on, Thursday night of last week
gave the Lucknow and District
Lions Club the endorsement they-
were seeking lo proceed With ,the
establishment of a new community
centre in the village, to serve the
needs of Lucknow and surrounding
rural area.
For some time, the Lions have
felt the need of a community centre
for the staging of dances, weddings
and large social events and
meetings.
For upwards of the past, year,
they have been investigating the
costs of such a new building,
delving into-location, management, -
continued maintenance 'after con-
struction and a variety of other
matters pertaining to the operation
of the building. ,
Over the past few weeks, they
have visited the area municipal
councils to determine their feelings
and .to explain their proposal. The
Lions are willing to spearhead a
fund raising drive to raise the
money, and they would propose to
turn the building over to a
community centre board to be run
-by the area --municipalitires;• who
would share .in the cost of
operation, or profit, as the case
might be.
Stuart Iteavie, outgciing presid-
ent of the Lions Club, chaired the
meeting last week and presented
their findings to date.
Xfter looking at a number of
buildings, the Lions concluded that
the best structure for their require-
ments, and for the money, was an
all steel building manufactured by
Gohcon Ltd. of Dundalk. A repres-
entative of the firing--"Dtiticari
Goheen, was present at last week's
meeting.
Proposed site for the new
building would be at the rear of the
Caledonian Park, in the south-west
corner, 'in the ski hill area.
. The proposal called for the,
levelling of the park hill to create a
building lot and parking area for
about 200 cars.
Approximate cost, completed,
would be .in the area of $150,000.
The builciing would be 06 't.y 140
