On Saturday, September 19^th at 1 p.m. the Town of Dagsboro held a Dedication for their new Town Clock.  For more than ten years Margaret Morris, Chairwoman, and the Beautification Committee of the Town of Dagsboro, raised funds to be able to purchase a clock for our Town.  The price of the clock accelerated to where it was out of reach for them to purchase it as they had only raised $7,000.  Fortunately, NRG Indian River Power Plant made a wonderful donation and purchased the clock that the Beautification Committee had been wishing for.  The $7,000 they had raised paid for freight shipment, plaque and the beautiful Westminster Chime and Chamber Carillon Sound System, which were installed at the factory when the clock was assembled.

The ribbon cutting was performed by Mrs. Margaret Morris, Chairwoman of the Beautification Committee, Mr. John Robertson, Plant Manager of NRG Indian River Power Plant, Mrs. Vickie Croley, Business Services Supervisor of NRG Indian River Power Plant, and Wayne Baker, Mayor of the Town of Dagsboro.  The Mayor took time to acknowledge Senator George Bunting and Representative John Atkins, who were instrumental in getting funding for the Streetscape Project.  Representative Gerald Hocker also joined us for this occasion.  Council members, P & Z members, and Bruce Daisey, Liaison for NRG Indian River Power Plant, joined a crowd of approximately 50 people were there to hear the chimes play “America the Beautiful” at 1 p.m. and “How Great Thou Art”.   The chimes are presently set to play “Oh, What a Beautiful Morning” at 9 a.m., “America the Beautiful” at 1 p.m. and “Amazing Grace” at 7 p.m.   Everyone is invited to stop at the Town Park and listen to them.

NRG Indian River Power Plant was also responsible for having the flowers planted around the trees, the planters on the Gazebo and helping to make our Park more attractive.  This was a wonderful occasion for the residents of the Town.

Light refreshments were served at the conclusion of the program.
