"Club members raised more than $5,000 to purchase and ship two marble statues - each depicting a lion and cub - from Italy. The statues are about 6 feet tall and weigh 2,400 pound apiece...The club has 35 active members and raised most of the cost of the lion statues through member donations, with little outside fundraising, Campbell said.
The lion project is just the latest of many contributions Chemung Sunrise Rotary Club has made to Eldridge Park, said Bob Lyon, founder of the Eldridge Park Carousel Preservation Society and the Eldridge Park Conservancy."
