MRPA Commissioners Workshop
The Minnesota Recreation and Park Association is sponsoring a Commissioners
workshop on Tuesday night, October 14th in Shorewood. A variety of Park and
Recreation professionals and consultants will be speaking. I recognize it is
difficult to schedule another night, but I think this is going to be one of those
events which yield great results. We will take a roll call of members who would
like to attend and I will be happy to drive the carpool van on the evening of
October 14th.

Re: MRPA Park Commissioners Workshop - October 14t~ (7:00 - 9:30 p.rn.)
Dear Greg
This will simply confirm our conversations and your willin-nes~ to assist us with this endeavor.
As mentioned, we are gathering the volunteer park & recreation commissioners fi'om three or
four communities to discuss some common issues tnetworking) and understand better the trends
a~,'*ing the d~li,,,-rv ~ d ........ ~-;~ se~,4ces.
We expect an "audience" of about 25-30 participm~ts. The event is being hosted by the
Shorewood Parks and Recreation Commission.
Specifically, we would like you to speak to the trends that seem to be emerging in parks and
recreation, as well as the notion of community plmming. Both from a Master Plan perspective
that provides a broad "roadmap" for parks and recreation services and individual park plans that
provide a preferred sequence of developing a particular park.
