Park & Recreation Board Member…
Community Leader Dinner

Sponsored in Part by Recreation Concepts, Inc.

To: Director of Parks and Recreation

It is that time of year again to join your South Suburban
peers for our annual Legislative/Park and Recreation Board
Member Community Leader Dinner on Tuesday, May 3, 2011,
at 8:00pm at the GOVERNOR'S MANSION, 410 East Jackson,
Springfield, Illinois. Last year the dinner had over 80 SSPRPA
professionals, board members and legislators in attendance…we're
hoping for a larger turnout this year since the event will be held in
the Governor's Mansion. Please invite your local legislator(s) to this
dinner! This is another great way to network with your legislator and
other park & recreation agency members of the south suburban region.
