Based on the memories of some members, the Yamaha Piano was purchased jointly by the Denver Lions and the Kiwanis club many years ago. At some point last year, we became aware that the power supply had been misplaced. In checking over the instrument carefully, we became aware that the feet could no longer be attached to the legs due to deterioration of the man made material.
This summer, Joe Steen (grandson of Lion Dwight and nephew of Lion Eric) helped move the piano from Maggaino’s to the home of Lion Eric. A new power supply was ordered and after determining that the piano was in good working order, Lions Eric and Dwight proceeded to build a new base for the unit. It was decided to add casters to the unit to make it easier to move around Maggiano’s. Once the new base was built and painted, the piano was thoroughly cleaned and polished.
Lions Steve and Dwight moved the piano back to Maggaino’s in time for Lion Maestro Stu to play for the first meeting of the 2018-19 year. Lion President Susy is looking for any Lions who can play at our regular lunches.
A big thank you Lion Roar to Lions Dwight, Eric, and Joe.
