DARIO MARASCO'S PROJECT

DARIO MARASCO

Covered Bench at Recreation Park

Economy Borough had previously installed playground equipment for the community. Before his project, there was no shade for families. So Dario decided to build a two-sided covered bench at the Park on Recreation Drive. The bench complements the playground equipment for families to be able to rest in the shade.

Holes were dug for the benches and pulpit, and a path was cut. Benches were built and set in concrete and 20 tons of gravel was spread. The path was lined and plantings were placed around the site. The area will be used for Sunday school, youth group meetings and quiet individual prayer.

JUSTIN GLEASON'S PROJECT

Paint refurbishing Baden Lion's Club

Justin refurbished the exterior of the Baden Lion's Club building and storage shed. The exterior of the building was sanded and all old paint chips removed. He used a power washer to clean the exterior of dirt and grim. A primer was used for all the surfaces. A new coat of paint was applied to the building. A fresh topcoat and darker trim paint were applied for the desired contrast to the wall surfaces. The metal doors and railing received new metal primer to take care of the rust. The old storage shed was treated with fresh paint. All work performed for the Baden Lion's Club Park Association.
