Fallsburg Community Honors Nat Kagan and Mel Mednick
June 21, 2010 by The Catskill Chronicle
FALLSBURG, NY – After months of hard work and collaboration between Fallsburg Central School District (FCSD), Fallsburg Lions Club, the families of Nat Kagan and Mel Mednick, and the generosity of groups and individuals that contributed funding and their company time and energy, the electronic information sign is up and running on the spacious front lawn at Fallsburg Jr/Sr High School.
Stephen Bedik, President of the Fallsburg High School Student Government Association for the past two plus years, brought the idea to the Board of Education two years ago and did all the research on specifications and costs. His tenacity and effort have made it possible for the sign to be in place and informing the community of his own class graduation on June 27. Larry Schafman, Director of Special Programs and Public Relations and Immediate Past President of the Fallsburg Lions Club, spearheaded the fund raising with a pledge from the Lions Club of $1000 and facilitated the support of Lisa and Shawn Wiles (daughter and son-in-law of Nat Kagan) and Shari and Michael Mednick (Mel’s son and daughter-in-law).
Lions Club members and Stephen’s parents Robin and Scot Bedik were instrumental in making the project happen. Lion Tim Pantel of Wizard Electric provided electricity to the sign and Bedik Communications provided the electronics and training to FHS staff to operate it. Other key people in the installation were Liberty Iron Works, Sullivan County Monument Works, and FCSD Building and Grounds Superintendent Jay Shapiro and the grounds crew.
The sign will serve the school district and the Fallsburg community to inform residents of important school events, emergency situations such as bad weather alerts, and community events such as Francis Currey Day.
A formal "opening" ceremony is scheduled for Tuesday, June 22, at 9:00 a.m. by the sign on the front lawn of Fallsburg Jr/Sr High School. The public is cordially invited to attend and celebrate. For more information contact Larry Schafman at (845) 436-6167.
