Dear Editor:
The Alvin “Noon” Lions Club is
the oldest civic club in Alvin. Since
being chartered in 1939. our prima-
ry focus through the years has been
the support of local youth and the
groups that serve them.
In 1987, the Alvin Little League
Baseball Association and the Alvin
Youth Soccer Club sought our sup-
port for what is now known as Lions
Park. Both organizations have com-
mitted substantial funding to this
project and requested that we join
them in providing funds for the
endeavor. We gladly made a finan-
cial commitment to the park and
have since pledged additional assis-
tance. We were very pleased that the
Rotary Club of Alvin joined with
Monsanto, Amoco and OxyChem to
become additional major bencfac-
tors of this much needed facility.
Many individuals have also given
of their time and financial resources
Caring enough to take care of pre
sent community needs and provid-
ing for future generations, these
founding participants commitment
and foresight should be acknowl-
edged and applauded
The participation of The City of
Alvin, with its grant acquisition, has
taken this project to the next level
The State of Texas, as the payor of
the grant funds. is to be commended
for helping the children and families
of our community acquire a park
using almost zero tax dollars. With
the help of so many and the benefits
of the park spread over multitudes
of children of today and tomorrow.
Lions Park should be a tremendous
problem it’s hard to make a garden
and raise cantaloupes
This year's patch was the best
Well, somebody who thought the
world owed them a living took every

we’d have to place them in the alter- ■

No charges were filed in the inci-
dent, but police said they did confis-
cate a 13-inch knife from the the,
floorboard of a pickup truck that one
teen-ager was in.
Alvin Police Chief Mike Merkel
said the two officers who responded
to the disturbance elected not to
charge anyone.
“The juvenile, who fired the gun,
said he was trying to protect a boat
that was on the property," Merkel
said. “He could have been charged
with discharge of firearms within the
city limits, which is a Class C mis-
demeanor.
“But the officers used their discre-
tion and chose not to charge him,
। because no one was injured and
1 there was no damage to any proper-
ty," ha added. “Fortunately* no out
did get hurt; it’s jest an issue where
poor judgment wee need." 1
