Park and Recreation Facility for Whole Area

A group of us met with Rebecca Sutherland, who is working on the grant application, a week ago. Our first step in getting a Park and recreation facility in Mossyrock is to submit a comprehensive plan....due in January. Fortunately we don't have to reinvent the wheel. We can use prototypes from other communities that have been successful at this. We do, however need extensive input from the community that will be served by this facility. This means the city of Mossyrock plus all surrounding areas such as Silvercreek, Salkum, Cinebar, etc. Communities as far away as Morton and Ethel would be served by a pool if the plans include that...since the nearest pool available to the public is 40 miles away in Centralia. (Thornbeck's) We are planning a public forum to get community input next Friday, Sept. 11th before the game. It will be from 5:30 - 7 at the multipurpose room of the Mossyrock Schools, and food will be served! People will be able to come in, get a bite to eat, give us their thoughts and opinions about this, and go on to the Mossyrock/Morton football game afterward. We need a large turnout for this, so your help in getting people to attend is appreciated! I'm attaching a pdf file of the flyer we are distributing. If you all could share this with your friends and neighbors, that would be great! On facebook? share with your friends. See you all next Friday. Jackie Morris
