The Meny-go•Round Stops ......... , <br />, .35 <br />Why This Booklet <br />Congratulations! You are now a member of a <br />Park & Recreation Board. There are almost <br />30,000 of us in the U.S. and 35% of us are <br />female. And, most of us were told the position <br />would not take any time - that's the first lie <br />we were told. <br />The Educators tell us that we are assuming a <br />civic responsibility, as part of a group, to pro- <br />vide Park & Recreation services to the <br />residents. Sounds reasonable, doesn't it? <br />We all want to succeed. If someone would only <br />tell us - in words we can understand - just <br />what we are supposed to do. <br />This Booklet is written by a Park & Recreation <br />Board Member who for more than 30 years has <br />been one of those responsible for providing <br />Park & Recreation services in his community. <br />He is trying to share his experiences (good & <br />bad) with you. <br />But My Community is Different - of course - <br />they all are. However, the problems and solu- <br />tions are the same everywhere and we are <br />trying to save you time and energy. Energy that <br />you surely will need if you are going to do the <br />job right. <br />■ <br />
