The Dover, Rollinsford and South Berwick (DRSB) Lions Club has dedicated one of their TREX benches to the Dover400 Anniversary Committee. The bench is part of a very successful recycling effort; one of six that have been donated throughout local towns as part of the Trex “Nextrex” challenge. The benches are made from plastics collected locally and recycled by club members and transformed by Trex into lovely benches complete with bronze plaques. Each bench represents 500 pounds of plastics that would have otherwise ended up in our landfills.
Dover400 President Kevin McEneaney and Vice President Sam Allen were present to accept the bench at the Lions regular Wednesday meeting on December 21,2022 at Cara Irish Pub. The bench was received just in time for their “First of the 400th” Gala at Dover City Hall on December 31, 2022. The bench will ultimately be placed on the lawn of the Dover Library, where summer programs for children are held, among other events.
The Lions Club of Dover, Rollinsford and South Berwick is a member of the Lions Club International, which began in 1917. Their motto is “We Serve.” The club gathers monthly to find ways to improve their community.
