Her dedication and passion is next to <br />none! Not only for her but all the kids that come together week after week throughout the winter & <br />summer months. <br />Although this facility is about an hour from our primary residence it is like a second home for many <br />of us! <br />I can understand the community members complaints, we hear and respect them — but this facility <br />is already on an extremely busy road. Speaking to the winter activities the employees of ERX are <br />always very punctual of the 10pm end time out of respect to surrounding community members. <br />ERX keeps kids active & out of trouble, it gives my child something to look forward to, it hosts <br />events throughout the year that are always family friendly, it provides a sense of community <br />welcoming people of all skill levels with open arms. <br />This is NOT something that you want to shut down. They are working to become better year after <br />year having a positive impact on the Elk River community. <br />DO IT FOR THE KIDS r <br />#077 #ERXSTRONG <br />Sincerely, <br />Nick, Paige, Ava, & Eliza Vadnais <br />Paige Vadnais, REALTOR <br />RE/MAX Results <br />
