Directors Message

Dear Community Friends,

Thank you for taking the time to visit our web page. On occasion you will find this site under construction due to adding new material and events. If you cannot find what you are looking for we do apologize and hope that you will call us at 704/824-4231 and let us help you.

Being new to the site, you might have a hard time finding some important documents, so we have made it easy for you. Look in the left hand column, scroll down until you see forms and downloads, click on it and then scroll down to the section Parks and Recreation. There you will find all the forms you will need.

Remember: if you are printing off an athletic registration form, you will also need to print a Code of Conduct and The Sport Information page to have the complete set to turn in.

2011 will be a very busy and productive year. We have several projects slated for completion by year’s end. There will be numerous special events held in 2011. I have listed them in the section department news.

Finally, I would like to take this opportunity and thank everyone who has volunteered or participated in one of our programs or events. Without all of your help our programs would not have succeeded. Due to increasingly higher numbers in all athletic registrations we need all the volunteers we can get. If you are interested in becoming a volunteer, please give us a call.

Sincerely,

Cam Carpenter

Parks and Recreation Director
