The Wapakoneta Lions Club is getting ready for the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing by painting the woodwork and polishing the organization emblems on the Community Entrance signs.  The club installed the signs in partnership with the city to the five primary entrances of Wapakoneta in 1998 and 1999.  Members continue to maintain the signs while the Roots and Shoots Garden Club continues to beautify the signage with flowers and plantings every year.

Taking advantage of the recent moderate weather this week, Lions Club members Jim Wachauf, Kenny Weber, Matt Maxson, and Lilburn Cummins painted the woodwork at the Bellefontaine Street entrance to Wapakoneta.
