Upcoming Fundraising Events
"Take me out the ballpark" — October 2009
Join us at the site of the new park and walk the grounds. Reading about the project doesn’t do it justice. Try out the parking lot,
walk the fields, look our across Monroe and imagine how much this will add to the beauty and social interactions of our community.
Partake in the events planned to help raise money and by summers end you may see fencing, bases and a concession stand. It’s within
our reach and walking the grounds really brings it home.
2nd Annual Family Fun Night — February 2010
A great time was had by everyone who attended last years dinner, concert and auction to raise money for MRP. Over $11,000 was raised
that night and we want to top that in 2009.

Recreation Park (MRP) Board and committees represent diverse sectors of our community and a wide
range of demographics. We are 100% focused on the goal — securing the recreational future
of our community and to ensure it remains viable and sustainable for future generations.

Numerous Benefits
In today’s demanding and hectic society, everyone needs time to explore their own personal sense
of well-being. Health studies have shown that immeasurable positive physical and psychological
benefits result from participating in recreational opportunities in the form of fitness, organized
sports, active living, park activities and quality time with family and friends. Our children and
grandchildren learn and develop motor skills, social skills and creativity through play. Our
teenagers will develop healthy self-esteem by being involved in sports activities. Leisure and
recreational activities lead to healthy individuals, welladjusted families and a healthier community.
