Announcements / Re: Construction Of Pavilion & Restroom - Proposal Request
« on: May 02, 2011, 09:01:11 AM »
Rev. Elizabeth- Thank you for summing up all my thoughts. Excellent!
Mummy- The pavilion project has been in process for the better part of two years and I know that Katrina gave a presentation and solicited questions at town meeting. This posting definitely isn't the first time that it was "released" to the community.
As a member of the Parks & Rec advisory board, I can attest that what Katrina accomplishes with the minimal budget provided is amazing. Although I don't remember the exact amount, she receives only a fraction of a full-time salary yet often works full time weeks, which would equate to hundreds of volunteer hours every year. Even more than just her time though, she truly pours her heart into her job. She does a great job soliciting donations of time, materials, and products from local businesses and has put in a tremendous amount of time seeking grant opportunities and applying for them. This pavilion project is a great example of the funds she has been able to secure, and also the cutting of the ball fields, and other park and field improvements to make our community a better place.
Thank you Katrina for everything you've done. I'm sure Mummy didn't intend to offend you personally, but remember that the unfortunate reality is that most people only speak up when they DON'T agree with something instead of when they do.
