- Funds for LaCrosse Rotary Lights - For 26 years the Rotary Lights Project has taken pride in the fact that there has never been any vandalism or theft. However, Oct. 23-24, 2021, about 70 electrical pedestals were moved to the park last Friday to begin the process of lighting the park. On both Saturday and Sunday evenings vandals cut the cords on many of those pedestals. It was assumed they wanted to take the cords with the hope that the copper content would be worth some kind of monetary award. Replacement cords are $2.00 per foot so our loss could be close to $10,000. Our Club will collect donations next week to support the LaCrosse Club.
