Sunday, August 5, 2012 THE DALLAS POST PAGE 5 bi thankful to Frontier for help With the conclusion of the sponsorship campaign for this year’s Dallas Lions Hometown Hero Project, the Dallas Lions thank Frontier Communication for its work in getting all the banners placed before Memo- rial Day. Thirty additional banners were hung this year along with 28 banners sponsored from 2011. Wayne Devine, Ted Wilson and their crew did a great job in getting the 58 banners placed while negotiating around road work being done in the bor- ough. The Dallas Lions also thank the Dallas Borough Council for its involvement in the project. The Hometown Hero ban- ners will remain on display through Veteran's Day, Nov. 11. Since the Dallas Lions has re- ceived requests for sponsor- ships for more banners, the Hometown Hero Project has been extended to next year. The 2013 campaign will be held January 2013 through March 2013. The Lions will give all who have sponsored a banner in 2011 and 2012 the option of placing their banner in the Dal- las Borough next year or have their banner released to them. Sob Steve Martin of Frontier Communications hangs a banner for the Dallas Lions Club Hometown Heroes Project. SENIOR CENTER MENU program.
