1999 National Gold Medal & State Park Awards
Folks, we have gone from a flood to a draught. The four vears surrounding the
1997 Referendum were hectic. At the dawn of 2000, projects have diminished to
what seems like a trickle. However, in lieu of canceling our February meeting, I
am choosing to seek inspiration and humility.
The video entitled 1999 Nazio,al Gold Medal & State Park.4 wards raises the bar
tbr park and recreation providers. At a time when we are tempted to sit back and
proclaim, "Look what we have done," this 1 hour and 15 minute production blows
the lid off what can be accomplished in the public recreation arena.
Consider your February meeting a time for rejuvenatio~.~. Sit back and enjoy 'the
movie; I'll bring the popcorn and sodas.
A nomination form explaining the award progran: is attached.
