Thanks to all the <br />businesses and other organizations that <br />participated. <br />Long-time Parks & Rec Committee Member Recognized <br />Earlier this year, after 22 years of service to the community, Suzanne Seely retired from her position on the <br />Parks and Recreation Committee. At the November 6 meeting, the Parks and Recreation Committee <br />recognized Ms. Seely for her years of dedication. Among <br />the highlights of SuzanneÓs career were writing a grant <br />for the cityÓs large trail project, constructed in 2011, <br />planning and overseeing the development of Hidden <br />Spring Park where the city now holds its Music in the <br />Park series. However, SuzanneÓsmost cherished <br />memories are the relationships built with community <br />members as their lives intersected through the work of the <br />committee. Congrats and Thank You, Suzanne! <br />Volunteer Appreciation Event <br />The Volunteer Appreciation was held on October 22, <br />2024 at St. GenevieveÓs Parish Center with <br />approximately 50 individuals in attendance. Both <br />the Parks & Recreation Committee and the city are <br />honored for their volunteer base as Centerville has <br />prospered by having the ability to hold events with <br />participants from the community and others from <br />outside of the community because of these <br />individuals along with adding visual amenities to <br />our parks. These volunteers maintain park <br /> <br />
