Dear Editor,
Congratulations to the staff of Independence Township Parks and Recreation for another wonderful event!
My family attended the Family Fun Night at Deer Lake Beach and had a fabulous time. Like everything else we’ve done with Parks and Rec, the event was well planned with a wonderful staff.
This summer, my children took swim lessons at Deer Lake with teachers named Josh and Jeff and they loved it. All the lifeguards and swim teachers we met at Deer Lake were friendly and so patient with the kids.
I was shocked when several friends of mine said that the swim program had almost been cut due to funding issues. Somehow Parks and Rec kept it going and for that I am grateful.
Parks and Rec runs programs for all ages’from preschoolers to seniors. To support this wonderful organization, I encourage everyone to visit their web site and fihl out a short survey.
You can also contact the Township Board to let them know how much you value our parks, extra-curricular activities, and senior programs. Clarkston is such a great place to live. Let’s keep it that way.
