Tomorrow, the City of Portland will unveil a new welcome sign for Deering Oaks Park. The sign was designed and constructed by two local businesses that responded to the city's request for public-private partnerships to help offset budget cuts. McClain Marketing Group and Mr. Signs, Inc. expressed the desire to donate a new sign for Deering Oaks Park in April and for the past few months have worked closely with the city's Public Services Department to create a new sign in keeping with the history and design of Deering Oaks Park. The value of the sign is estimated at $6,500.
WHERE:
Deering Oaks Park
State Street Entrance near the Welcome Center, Portland
This event is free and open to the public.
Members of the community are encouraged to visit Volunteer Portland, www.portlandmaine.gov/donations, a web-based initiative designed to allow the people that live and work in the City a chance to give back by volunteering or donating their time, services or financial resources. Specific information regarding service impacts for the proposed budget and ways to donate is available. The site's gift catalog includes more than fifty items available for donation and a wide variety of volunteer opportunities.
