Greensburg, IN—In celebration of 100 years as a local chapter, the Greensburg Rotary Club presented the City of Greensburg with a gift at the corner of Lincoln and Main streets. The new digital welcome sign at this major intersection marks a multi-year effort by the Greensburg Rotary Club to leave its legacy on the City of Greensburg.
“About 2 years ago, our Greensburg Club recognized that we would be celebrating a major milestone with our 100-year anniversary,” said Club President Lora Williams. “Our Club knew we wanted to present some sort of gift to the city in recognition of turning 100 years old. Based on input from members of our club and the community, we settled on the idea of a digital sign that would bear the Rotary symbol as it informs residents and visitors to the City.”
After a project was determined, a fundraising committee was formed. The project was completely funded through private and corporate donations, including the in-kind work of many vendors. The project has now been officially gifted to the City of Greensburg. City officials who helped with the project include former Mayor Dan Manus, Mayor Josh Marsh, and City Engineer Ron May.
“Special thanks to Rotarians Daryl Tressler for chairing the sign project, and Steve Freeman for heading up the fundraising efforts,” said Williams. Additional thanks go to Hygrade Excavating, Raver Concrete, Lohrum Electrical, Gausman Brothers Masonry, and Green Signs.
