MEMO <br /> Date: June 1, 2000 <br /> To: Chairperson Michael Navin <br /> Park and Recreation Committee <br /> From: Jill Lien <br /> Re: Dedication of Laurie LaMotte Park <br /> I'm sure all of you are aware that the "Dedication of Laurie LaMotte Park" didn't <br /> happen the week of May 22n as anticipated. After polling several of the Park and <br /> Recreation Committee members, staff members and residents, I came to the <br /> conclusion that a dedication of LaMotte Park would be premature. Most often I <br /> heard, "Didn't we already dedicate this park ?" I had already sent out letters to the <br /> following businesses requesting donations for the event: <br /> Wise Guys Pizza - Ken Vanderbeek <br /> Kelly's Korner - Bill Bisek <br /> Sager's Liquor - Terry Sager <br /> Jumpin Java - Monica Travis <br /> Centerville Lions Club - Dave Lutz <br /> Cub Foods (Bakery) - Kan Klassen <br /> Fire Department - Brian Colvard <br /> RE/MAX Realty - Ray DeVine <br /> Included are copies of the request letters that were sent to the area businesses and <br /> Cub Foods for your review. As of today, I havn't received one phone call or <br /> response from any of the above, with the exception of Cub Foods. I had already <br /> called them before sending out the request letter to discuss the donation with them. <br /> They were willing to donate a cake for the event. <br /> At this point, I think it would be best to hold the dedication in the future, when the <br /> park is completely done. Once the playground equipment, concession stand, <br /> parking lot, turf, ball fields, lights, fences, trails, etc., are all complete, we should <br /> then consider having a "grand opening" or something of the sort. <br /> Thank You! <br />
