Marianas Variety learned yesterday that their mission was to install additional bleachers with roofing, Table/Officials booth, re-paint the court to give it a brand new glossy look for the fans, tourists, and players. With the support of so many people working hand in hand the project was overwhelming for some people but it was a goal that they wanted to accomplish within the weeks to come.
Saipan Mayor Donald Flores was full support of the project for he believed in giving back to the community even though he was given a limited budget. Mayor Flores waited for approval from the Liberation Day Committee to grant his request on donating excess materials such as tin roofs, lumber and others for the community project.
Department of Public Works Mr. John “Kabazu” Deleon Guererro is going to help out on installing new lightings, repairs of the existing lightings, and relocating outlets for the use of the equipments this week.
The president of the QQ Basketball League, President James Han, and his committee will donate the officials’ booth for the league’s use. They will also donate paint, four new 1500 watt light bulbs for the Court. These renovations will start on Sunday August 29th, 2010. The involved Basketball League Organizers will provide assistance for the renovation, and other donations for the project.
“Tourist in the heart of Garapan has made the Garapan Basketball Court as their second stop to enjoy local basketball events in the area. When this project is complete our tourists, fans, officials will not have to scramble for shelters to prevent being soaked or wet during rainy season. This is worth an investment for tourists, youth programs, adults, and our community as a whole.” said Mr. Lizama in an email.
League Organizers are inviting Precinct III Representatives to join them in this project. Interested Companies, non-profit organizations interested to donate or provide assistances for the project can email: Mr. Ray Lizama at [email protected] or contact Rey Perez at 989-8759 or Marlon Sison at 878-8173
