Island Rec Commissioners say “Thanks!”

Dear Editor,

On behalf of Island Rec, San Juan Island School District, the Friday Harbor Athletic Association, and the other groups, organizations, and individuals who have worked so hard to fund and develop the new community park on Carter Avenue, we want to thank our island voters for a fantastic turnout and a strong positive result in support of the recent Island Rec levy.

The overwhelmingly favorable vote will allow for six more years of a wide variety of recreational programming and the use of multiple parks for our active community members, solidify another six year partnership between Island Rec and the School District to support high school sports, and provide for the operation and maintenance of the new community park, beginning in January of 2016,

Above all, this levy means more than funding. This levy means we can continue working for a healthy, vibrant, and active community for all.   Whether you are looking for social activity or want to push your performance level; no matter which age or stage of life describes you; no matter what your income level; all of our San Juan citizens are included in the mission of Island Rec.

As the Island Rec Board of Commissioners, we are grateful for voter support, and are strengthened in our resolve to continue to be good stewards of your tax dollars.

Most respectfully,

The San Juan Island Parks and Recreation District Board of Commissioners:

Bill Cumming, Board Chair
Scott Zehner
Tracy Roberson
Adam Eltinge
