AKWESASNE -- Generations Park has a new scoreboard, donated by Tarbell Manufacturing Group.

Last summer, a TMG representative reached out to the Saint Regis Mohawk Tribe’s Administration Office to discuss the possibility of making a donation to Generations Park. Recreation Coordinator Mary Terrance followed up on the call and discussed the need for a scoreboard at the main field. Mark Laguador, TMG vice president, met with tribal officials for further discussion that resulted in a commitment to purchase a new $30,000 scoreboard.

“At Tarbell Management Group, we recognize the importance of supporting events and facilities that help promote our community’s health and wellness,” TMG CEO Brandon Tarbell said in a prepared statement.

“Niawen:kówa to Tarbell Management group for reaching out to the Tribe with the thought of helping the community. When the tribal government and the business community partners, we see great results for Akwesasne,” Tribal Executive Director Tsiorasa Barreiro said in a prepared statement. “We send recognition and appreciation to Bill Cook, Ironworkers Local 440 and their apprentices who volunteered their time to construct the rebar needed for the footers; as well as to the Tribe’s Maintenance Staff: Brian Herne, Justin Durant, Kenny King, Jake Arquette, Harvey Arquette, Belson Jones and Michael Boots who helped pour the concrete and erect the steel beams for the scoreboard.”
