The LO Village Parks and Recreation Department will soon be able to sell sponsorships to fund special events, as the Village Council gave approval to establishing a separate fund for donations.
The Council voted to establish the fund on April 10. The parks advisory committee said funds raised by the department should be set apart from taxpayers? dollars.
Sponsorships will be sold for special events, such as a community picnic to open, and another to later close, the swimming season at Green’s Park, as well as a 5K or 10K race.
