Summary

Elizabeth McLane of the Junior League of Scranton asked the Dunmore Borough Council for permission and input to plant a tree and place a plaque honoring Erin Feeney; the League will fund the project and council members suggested a park location and a small ceremony.

Elizabeth McLane, a Dunmore resident and President-elect of the Junior League of Scranton, asked the council on July 14, 2025, to approve planting a tree with a plaque to honor the memory of Erin Feeney, who died in July 2024. McLane said the project would be funded by the Junior League and requested council input on location and any borough concerns.

Council members discussed possible sites and suggested placing the tree in a park area "where the kids are" so it would be visible and used by families; Janet Brier said the council would coordinate and hold a small ceremony. William O'Malley noted a family connection: he said Katie Feeney is his first cousin and that Erin passed one year ago that day. McLane provided a contact address (2113 Jefferson Avenue) and the council asked the League to follow up with municipal staff to finalize placement and ceremony details.

No formal vote was required; council members expressed support and offered to coordinate.
