The Park and Recreation Committee meets every third Thursday of the month at 7:30 p.m. The meetings usually run in length for three hours. We would request that any name, or names be submitted to me at least one week before the June 19 meeting. As Chairman, I might suggest that you consider placing your name in nomination. Your background and position would offer much to the County Committee. The above statement however, is based upon your willingness and time schedule. I realize that you already have a busy schedule as Chairman for the City, but I felt that you should not be automatically counting yourself out.
