Parks and Recreation is a mainstay in the community because of the extensive, ongoing citizen involvement and widespread service by community volunteers. Roseville Parks and Recreation is extremely fortunate to have hundreds of volunteers that involve themselves throughout the year and assist in the provision of programs, services and facilitiesfor our community. McKesson Corporation is America's oldest and largest healthcare services company with over 30,000 employees across the country and around the world. Playing an active role in the community is the way McKesson does business, it is more than good corporate citizenship; it is a matter of investing in each other. For the past nine years McKesson has sponsored "Community Days" a program in which employees are given a paid day off to join together as volunteers in the local community. This year, the Roseville and Little Canada offices of McKesson Corporation came together to work in our Roseville Parks and Recreation System. During this year's two days of community service twenty-four employees painted the Nature Center kitchen ceiling, the Rosebrook Park Shelter, the Rosebrook Pool pump house, Dale Street tunnel in Reservoir Woods, and park identification signs. McKesson employees also pitched in to help with the spring park clean-up at Rosebrook Park and at the Muriel Sahlin Arboretum. In addition to the g�ft of time, McKesson generously donated nearly $4000 worth of materials needed for the projects. McKesson staff also voiced an interest in continuing this community connection in the future. Contributions like this greatly enhance the quality of life in Roseville and for that we feel very fortunate to have the McKesson Corporation as a community partner. POLICY OBJECTIVE The proposed policy is consistentwith the approved budget goals that the department works to leverage outside resources to support departmental operations and activities.
