Please Join Us Wednesday, October 26th for the Public Input Session

The Greenhills Recreation Commission continues to solicit input from the community for our 2012 Planning cycle.  This coming Wednesday, October 26th, we will be conducting a Public Comment Session, seeking one final opportunity before we finalize our planning for the upcoming year.  Please join us at 8:00pm at the Greenhills Municipal Building for this session.

 

Rules for Public Comment Session

• The October public input session is an opportunity for Greenhills residents to give their input / suggestions to commission for future planning purposes for 2012 and beyond. 
• We will record this info and combine it with other input that we received via other sources for use at future meetings as it pertains to planning.
• Each resident in attendance will be given the opportunity to speak for a maximum of three minutes and the content must be kept to input/suggestions pertaining to Greenhills Recreation. 
•  Alternatively residents can submit their proposals/ideas/thoughts in writing to the commission. 

Palma Park Playground in Full Use!

Below is a snapshot of the Palma Park playground from this past Saturday, October 15th.  What a fantastic addition to the Palma Park area!  This represents the best of what Greenhills is:  A focused effort combining volunteer support with a commitment to spend precious recreation levy dollars for a good cause.

Thanks go to Eagle Scout Sam Slaughterbeck, Councilman Greg Hermes, Mike Caster and the folks from the Village, and a host of other dedicated volunteers who worked together to make this a reality.

Public Input Session October 19th

The Greenhills Recreation Commission will be holding a public input session on Wednesday, October 19th, at 8pm at the Greenhills Municipal Building Council Chambers.  The Recreation Commission members will once again be soliciting input from the committee in advance of finalizing our 2012 planning.  Members of the community are invited to come to the session and comment, provide input and ideas. Presenters will be asked to keep their comments to 3 minutes. Greenhills residents can also provide input to Recreation Commission through the Greenhills Recreation website Idea Submission Form. 

August Minutes Posted

The minutes from the August Recreation Commission Board meeting have been posted, along with the agenda distributed and shared during this past week's Recreation Commission meeting.

A reminder that we will be having a open public session on October 19th, looking for one final review of perspectives from the community in planning for the 2012 budget cycle. 

2012 Recreation Commission Public Input Session

The Recreation Commission has worked to re-focus its efforts in 2011 toward a more focused and directed effort through the expansion of its membership, broader input from the community, and more scrutiny, insight and input into the manner with which the community's dollars are spent on recreational facilities and programs. 

In building toward 2012, we once again are inviting the citizens of the community to provide input, only this time in person.  In October we will have an open session where we will invite members of the community to provide further input and suggestions into the priorities for next year and the years to come. 

More information on this public session will be published via our online sources, in the October Greenhills Journal, and the Community Press.  If you'd like to have an opportunity to speak at the session, please drop us a line.

Second Dine & Dive a Success!

The last Dine & Dive the season took place on Friday, August 26th.  Topped off by great weather and live music from Gil's Variety Store, attendees also ate over 300 hotdogs.  Special thanks to the volunteer corp of Peggy & Gregy Hermes, Andy Hermes, Terry Berte, Maria Walther, Jeff Hansee, and Cindy Kamp. 

 

The Recreation Commission is identifying the dates for the 2011 Dine & Dive.  If you have a specific suggestion, please let us know.

Identifying All Recreational Facilities and Green Spaces

I've taken the liberty of trying to identify all of the green spaces and recreational facilities in Greenhills, but am not sure the attached is accurate. Please review the attached, and drop us an email with your suggestions or corrections.

Update: Evonne Kovach faxed over this very useful document which appears to be a few years old (judging from the time frame it indicates the pool is open -- til Labor Day) but reflects the complete list of park areas and recreation facilities in the community.
