Dear All,

At our February 1st Parks Committee Meeting Linda Broadfoot, Parks Director, gave out the attached “Indy Parks Highlights” sheet.  There was a lot of information, so I thought I would share.  Please pay particular attention to:

1.)  Outstanding Agency Award – The parks team was very excited about just returning from the Indiana Park and Recreation Association Conference in which they proudly displayed 3 awards:  Outstanding Agency Award, Outstanding Professional for Don Colvin, and Excellence in Resource Improvement for Deer Management at Eagle Creek Park.  Read the article for more information.

2.)  Project Indy is a Summer Jobs Initiative in which Indy Parks offers more than 400 jobs, which includes lifeguard positions.  Know of some youth looking for a job?  Have them apply at indy.gov/jobs.

3.)  Summer Day Camp registration is open.  These camps are at 14 of our parks and offer various types of camps.  Go to indyparks.org or call 317-327-7275.  Some of these camps fill up fast, so if interested get registered as soon as possible.

4.)  Indy Free Tax Prep – this is by appointment only and being offered at 3 different parks.  Call 211 for more information.

The information above plus a lot more is on the attachment.  Look it over and see some of the things going on throughout Marion County and within our Parks.

Sincerely,

Janice McHenry
City-County Councillor District 6
