Best Bench Team Ever!

Thanks to the Rotary Club of Hazleton the Greater Hazleton Rails to Trails now has four new park benches where people  can sit and relax as they explore and walk or hike the trail paths. Katrina Lennartz, past president of the local Rotary Club, enjoys the trail, but suggested to the club that a few more park benches at various locations along the trail would probably be a welcome addition for trail users. The Club agreed and some members got together to build, paint, deliver and place the benches in the park. The benches were painted a bright blue and gold (Rotary colors) by  Weatherly Boy Scout Troop #007.  A bobcat was provided by  Highway Equipment. Rotary Club members shown completing the project are Row 1, L to R: Tim Gennetti, John Madden, Paul Malone, Katrina Lennartz.  Row 2, L to R: Mark Imbriaco- Project co-chairman, Gene Acri-Project chairman, Pat Ward,  Boy Scout Cade Schock, Ron Avellino and Boy Scout Parent Dennis Schock.    Row 3, L to R: Kevin O’Donnell and Jerry Panisak.    Missing when the photo was taken were Rotarians Joe Cammissa, Jeff Lotz and Jerry Benz.
