Howland stadium foundation kickoff meeting this evening

HOWLAND

The Howland Community Stadium Foundation invites the public to attend a kickoff meeting for a new Howland Community Stadium from 6 to 7:30 p.m. today at Leo’s Ristorante, 7042 E. Market St.

The stadium would enhance the band, football, soccer, physical education and springtime softball and baseball programs, organizers say.

The construction would involve no public money and would save the school district more than $1 million in maintenance over the life of the field, said Kevin Wyndham, foundation president.
