My interest in providing activities and programs for our community brought me to the Parks and Recreation Department in 1991, where I continue working and volunteering to expand local opportunities for the children and families of the county. And here we are today about ready to break ground to build the facility. Any and all contributions are needed to pass this last hurdle. If you can help, please contact the Y office at 988-9622. Recent letters to the editor have raised some concerns with Y program operations.
Brown County is unique in many ways, but similar in others.
Accepting change is somewhat difficult for most of us, as individuals and communities. Here, as in most communities, growing pains bring about some discomfort until we adjust, really try to understand and look beyond the comfort and convenience of our own backyard. This is taking place now with the YMCA kindergarten through fifth grade basketball program. The Parks and Recreation Department has had its share of community issues raised as well, such as the equity of teams in a particular area, practice times and convenience of games. Starting any new program or activity usually has its drawbacks.
