CECILTON â While the Lions Club has been a presence in Cecilton for decades, their gift to the elementary school is their largest to date according to Ken Cowley.
âEspecially in a year where we couldnât do any fundraisers,â Cowley said. Cecilton Lions paid $16,000 for the sign, now erected at the entrance to Cecilton Elementary School for all to see as they drive past on West Main Street.
Monday morning the Cecilton Lions Club officially presented the lighted signboard to the school. Jeffrey Lawson, superintendent of Cecil County Public Schools, was both thrilled and humbled by the gift.
âThese signs are not high on everyoneâs radar because they are so expensive,â Lawson said. âTo have a group like the Lions Club volunteer and do it all from start to finish was just amazing.â
