Remodel triggers move From Jackson, Mich. to
Syracuse, NY
Every
time Maggie and John Gilson remodel their house, they move.
Originally
from Green Bay, Wisc.,
Maggie and John relocated to Jackson, Mich. with their three children in
tow. Together, they built a
business there starting with a 18-hole golf course
that expanded to include catering and also a construction business. After selling the business and retiring
for a few years, they decided to remodel their house again.
Naturally,
it wasn’t long before the opportunity of a lifetime arose and they packed their
bags for Central New York where the business was hired to perform all of the
HVAC contracting work for the Destiny USA project.
John
Gilson is Commissioning Agent/Site Project Manager for John E. Green Company, a
mechanical contracting firm based in Highland Park, Mich. The Gilsons
did not move here to build a mall, John says, but to provide leading edge
technology to the Destiny USA project.
John
and his company are working to provide an advanced HVAC system that will help
Destiny achieve the Platinum level under the Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design Green Building Rating System.
Our
club’s newest [guest] member has wasted no time getting involved with the
community. Maggie active in her
Rotary Club back in Jackson, Michigan, which is about an hour from Detroit and
Toledo and 30 minutes from Lansing, Mich. has informally
joined our club as a visiting member.
In addition to coming to our meetings, Maggie has volunteered to help
with Stella Maris’ Strawberry Festival and also helped out at the Father’s Day
Pancake Breakfast. With the
exception of the community’s skepticism over the Destiny USA project, Maggie
and John have found everyone
Maggie
and John live on Lakeview Circle not far from Toni and Curt Feldman.
Tractor Raffle Nets more than $1,200, winner elects
cash prize
This
year’s tractor raffle was a resounding success, earning our highest take
ever. Final returns are still
trickling in, but as of the first count, the raffle netted more than $1,200.00,
all of which will be used for our club’s service projects.
Joe Siracusa
of Wagon Wheel Drive was the winner of the raffle and elected for the cash
prize.
Special thanks to all of those
who showed up to sell at the breakfast, including Marion, John Paddock, John
Rooney, Daryle Pickering, Paul Frickey,
Mike Wahlrab, Toni Feldman, Dave Cutten and your author.
