On October 31st, the Eatontown Lions formally dedicated the Millennium Visual Systems LED Community Sign between Broad Street and Route 35 to the town. In that ceremony Mayor Gerry Tarantolo thanked the Eatontown Lions for the project and said that this particular project was extra special. Other towns were asking about it and also talking about how great the new sign looks. “It is a great improvement to what we used to have up here. It was a sign that would only hold one message and would have to be changed every week. The letters that you had to stick up there faded over the years. This new sign will give the town flexibility to announce multiple events going on in town.” Explained Toby Stark President of the Lions Club.

Many volunteers gathered together to make this project a success. Joel Stark headed up the process with communications between the club and town. The old sign was taken down and then enter the paint team headed up by Lion Bill Thonack. The steel beams that held the old sign needed to be sanded down and repainted. Once that was done the electrical team was sent in to wire the new sign. Leading that team was soon to be Lion Garrett Worthley. Also a special thanks to the Eatontown Public Works that helped the Club every step of the way, especially Matt Dutch and Matt Frederick.

At the dedication the mayor presented Toby Stark with a certificate of appreciation to the Eatontown Lions for their support and diligence on the project.
