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

Simply Somersworth: Photographs past and present preserve city s memories

I’m not sure about you but I enjoy a good snow storm. Not only is it pretty when you look out of the window, it gives us some downtime to organize, read or do whatever our heart desires. This past snowstorm I found myself organizing the photos on my laptop. As someone who takes many pictures over the course of a week, I had a lot of pictures and they all needed to be renamed, deleted or put into folders before I forgot where they were or where they belonged.
