Our special guest speaker on Friday, May 31st was Jill Meis, City of Lake Stevens Parks Planning Coordinator. The Lake Stevens Parks Department officially started in 2022. The Vision of the Parks and Recreation Department are to enrich the lives through our commitment to: Play, Engage, Access and Stewardship.
In the community, they strive to engage the public, promote healthy lifestyles, encourage inclusiveness and foster community identity. Part of that inclusiveness a request was made by the public to have communications boards for non-verbal children and adults. The Parks Department worked with Sherwood Community Services on the development of these Communications Boards. Rotary agreed to sponsor three of the Communication Boards with the Rotary brand on each board which cost $2,528. The Communication Boards are one-sided at this point. The goal is to have these Communication Boards set up by summer.
