2023 Ribbon Cutting Groundbreaking - Menomonie Lion's Club

 

The full project will take about 2 years to complete featuring the 2 existing pillars as the entry into the new memorial.  It will initially consist of a 24’x30’ elliptical concrete pad with 2 black granite monuments that will have passed names of Lion members, 2 black granite benches, and a sitting concrete Lion statue as the main feature.  Initial concrete work is expected to be done the week of September 25th by Accurate Construction.  

 

Other features will include 3 flagpoles with flags ( US, State, & Lions).  An ADA compliant concrete ramp from street through the pillars to the memorial platform.  Still in the design phase is a possible archway from pillar to pillar.  Lighting and adding a couple of shade trees will also be incorporated.

 

Eligibility to have a Lion’s name etched on the monument stones,  one has to have either served as a Menomonie Lion for 15 years in good standing, or have passed away while being an active Lion member.
