Friends
Win Award for their Outstanding Contributions to Beautification
On May 20,
2006, the Friends proudly accepted the Keep Michigan Beautiful Distinguished Service
Plaque.
In 2004, we embarked on a campaign to raise funds for a sculpture to honor the
memory and commitment of our long-time board member and special friend, Cheryl
Spears. The community response to the project was incredibly heartwarming as people
contributed their financial and human resources.
The outcome was a magnificent
work of art titled "Who's Watching Whom? by Jane DeDecker of Loveland, Colorado
that will forever grace the lawn of the Public Library and bring joy to many future
generations.
Besides the Friend's Board of Directors, others who contributed to the success
of the project include family and friends of Cheryl, John Spears, Christman Corporation,
Beggar's Banquet softball women's softball team, Sylvia Marabate and the City
of East Lansing.
