I went to my granddaughter’s graduation from the junior high school in Lewiston. The ceremony was held at the Lewiston Armory next to the school. There were about 300 students graduating. There must have been more than 200 people standing during the whole graduation ceremony, a lot of them elderly.
I think the school should have had the graduation at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Lewiston’s taxpayers are asked to support the Colisee. The city pays hundreds of thousands of dollars to help keep it afloat, so I feel that the Colisee should be available free of charge for graduations and similiar events.
Instead of helping the Colisee out of financial difficulties, the city should spend the money elsewhere. I know hockey fans may think differently. We should all be able to reap the benefits of keeping the Colisee afloat.
