Resident suggests park name

February 17, 2015   ·   0 Comments

We recently had a community meeting about the new community park that is to be constructed east of Nobleton School in one of the new subdivisions. There was no discussion about the name for this park.
I believe that it should be named after two tireless community workers, Joe and Bernice Tasca. I would like the park to be named in their honour – “Tasca Park.”
You may not know him, but Joe is an instrumental member of the Lions Club and is very community minded. He sits for hours up at the plaza selling tickets to whatever the Nobleton Lions Club is raising money for. The Nobleton Lions Club has done a lot for this town.
The seniors in Nobleton enjoy a free Christmas dinner put on by the Lions Club. Joe goes around and delivers flyers inviting the seniors, he negotiates deals from the local businesses to supply some of the ingredients for the meal. It is a wonderful event. If there is someone in need, the Lions step up without any fan fare and get help for that person. They helped a struggling family who lived behind me.
You may not know Bernice, but she has been a tireless worker for the Nobleton Women’s Institute. The Nobleton Women’s Institute has helped women over the years become more knowledgeable on lots of different topics and become confident in their own abilities.
We have Cherry Park where the Cherry family used to live.
How appropriate that we should name our new park “Tasca Park,” where the Tasca family used to live!
Tasca is a good Italian name and our area is very Italian. Also this would honour two worthy organizations, the Nobleton Lions and the Nobleton Women’s Institute.
