Community Involvement
 
From the emergency response of our equipment to help our local fire and police departments, to the pleasure of sponsoring our local community band in concert each summer, G & S Lyman, Inc. is involved in all aspects of our community.

Each summer, the community band concert series reserves “Children’s Night” for our co-sponsorship. That evening, the air is filled with helium balloons, good tunes, the smell of hot dogs, and the traditional honking of horns at the completion of a song.

Annually, we arrange for a piece of our equipment to be shown at the local kindergarten. Children, parents and teachers alike all get a picture taken behind the controls of a large loader, while being educated on the safety and use of this equipment.

On our patriotic side, we may be giving the community band a ride at the Memorial Day exercises or loaning a generator to run the sound system at the same event. 2010 was a very special year in the town of Orange. Our bicentennial year culminated with a parade and celebration in October. Our company, with assistance from the local Marine Corps Detachment, sponsored a float with a rendering of the raising of the flag at Iwo Jima in WWII. Our float won first place in the parade, but the true reward was watching the many people along the parade route stand at attention, and indeed shed a tear, as the float passed by… a rare and special moment.
