Teen Recreation

  • Youth need appropriate recreational opportunities that are of interest to them, not just to the adults who control the purse strings.
    ACTION: I have advocated the proposed skate park for years, even though I've never set foot on a skateboard (at least, not successfully)! I've led the council to fund a matching grant for the project, and to approve a grant writer position in addition to that funding. I've also contributed personally to the project, as I encourage you all to do.
    ACTION: In 2005, I worked to help manage the Rotary clubs' construction of the Catlin Rotary Spray Park to provide some nice cool relief for our kids in the summer months.
