Dear Mr. Horvath
I would like to arrange a meeting with you; Cynthia Mearns, Director of the Clarington
Public Library and a few members of the Orono Business Association to discuss use of
the library grounds in Orono, to erect a replica of the Victorian Bandstand, originally
built in Orono in 1895.
The Bandstand would be used for occasional community concerts. We plan complete the
project with funds raised in Orono. I have discussed the Victorian Bandstand Project
with Craig Brown, Chairman of the Clarington Library Board. He has given his personal
support for the project and has suggested that the process to gain approval for the library
site should begin by meeting with you and the interested parties.
I can be reached during the day at 905 666 7022 (office) or in the evenings at 983 9494.
I look forward to discussing this matter with you at your convenience.
Sincerely
David Climenhage
