Noel Neill Statue Funding A Go!

This just in from Metropolis-

The Metropolis Chamber of Commerce has been eagerly awaiting a decision concerning its application for state tourism funds for the Noel Neil Statue, and the good news has finally arrived.

An Illinois Tourist Attraction Grant in the amount of $29,550 has been awarded to the Metro Chamber for the project that will give visitors yet another attraction to see while visiting Metropolis. The six foot bronze statue will depict Noel Neil as Lois Lane and will feature a pedestal that will be constructed of engraved bricks, similar to the Superman Statue.  The statue will grace the northeast corner of Eighth and Market streets.

The following announcement comes compliments of your friendly neighborhood webmaster:

An auction will be held at the Chicago Comic-Con on Saturday, August 8, 2009, to raise funds for comics legend John Ostrander.

John has recently undergone a series of expensive surgeries and treatments to save his remaining eyesight from the ravages of glaucoma.  Very little of his medical costs are covered by insurance, and friends have banded together to assist him in his time of need.

Any funds raised exceeding John’s needs will be donated to other comics creators facing vision issues or to the HERO Initiative.

If you’re interested in donating items for the auction or in making a monetary donation, please check out www.comix4sight.com for more information.
