The Nesquehoning Lions Club recently dedicated its new building in memory of a hard-working, dedicated member.

Club President Maurice Infante said the building is dedicated to the late Jackie Coniglio of Nesquehoning, who passed away in April before the building was completed. He said Coniglio and his brother, Butchie, were a major part of the fundraising for the project.

The building plan was spearheaded by Bill Farne, a contractor who came to Nesquehoning when hired to install water lines in the borough, remained there, and became a past president and current treasurer of the Lions Club.
