"Welcome to Mechanicsburg" sign

The sign has been completed. A dedication ceremony
was held on Sunday, Sept. 10, 2006
on North York Street near the new sign.
In October 2008 the back of the sign had lettering added
and the landscaping was completed.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the success of this project.

Memorial funds have been  given in honor of two of our dear friends and Rotarians, Richard Wevodau and Carolyn Snyder. The funds were  to landscape around the sign and add the lettering to the back of the sign (completed).
