Item: 8.2.B <br />or <br />ver <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Parks and Recreation Commission <br />FROM: Steve Benoit, Recreation Manager <br />DATE: June 3, 2009 <br />SUBJECT: Volunteer Recognition Program <br />A new program that the Parks and Recreation Department is implementing is the Volunteer <br />Recognition Program. At each monthly Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, a <br />volunteer of the month will be recognized for the time and effort they have contributed to <br />the Parks and Recreation Department. Then at the end of the year, a volunteer of the year <br />will be selected and recognized for their outstanding service. <br />The value that volunteers bring to the Elk River Parks and Recreation Department is <br />immeasurable. Because of volunteer efforts, we have facilities that provide high levels of <br />recreational opportunities to the community, and programs that bring positive benefits to <br />participants of all ages. Our volunteers allow our department to provide a higher level of <br />service to Elk River Residents than could be done without them. Due in great part to <br />volunteer energies, Elk River recreational facilities are known throughout the region for their <br />high quality. We are excited to offer a program that provides an opportunity to recognize <br />our volunteers. <br />
