Dear Don Martin, Marty Holguin, Laura McGalliard and Staff,
Just a season ending thanks for your assistance with our facilities. I
know you have been in contact with many of our board members
throughout the season for various reasons and, other than a few (?)
adverse mishaps with PDNS, the season was a Hugh success.
Communication, cooperation and community Inuoluement is the key to
our organization(s) future prosperity. In plain English, job well done
by all for the 1995 season.
The master calendar and letters of communication have taken the
guesswork out of "whats", "whys", and "how comes" for our board
members and the general membership.
In short, continue the good work.
Sincerely, st_st4--?.1\94...L.___

A suggestion:
Couldn 't a small tree be planted next to the swing sculpture
in front of the recreation building near the playground area?
When the sculpture was previously located near the City Hall ,
it was under trees . Now the swing supports end in mid-air . All it
needs is a small tree, perhaps one of the trees like those on Fred
Waring by Pier One.
The Civic Center Park is beautiful : great planning and
maintenance. We love walking through the park.
