During the National Recreation and Parks Association’s Park and Recreation Month, we <br />challenge you to explore the “undiscovered” roles of local parks and recreation. Join us on <br />Thursday, July 26 6:00-8:00 pm at Hansen Park for a Lifetime of Discovery. <br /> <br />The donations will be used as prize give-a-ways to draw community members to the event so they <br />can discover what New Brighton Parks and Recreation has to offer. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________________________ <br />Lori Hokenson <br />Recreation Supervisor <br />AGENDA SECTION: Consent <br />REPORT DATE: May 9, 2018 <br />MEETING DATE: May 22, 2018
