10/23/2009: "LETTER ON ORCAS RECREATION DISTRICT"

Dear Editor:

This past July over 650 people signed a petition to place the Orcas Island Recreation District Proposal on the ballot. Now is the time to vote to
approve the district.

We are fortunate that this district will have solid leadership. I have met with all of the commissioner candidates and I am impressed by their
enthusiasm, interest and credentials. If you are unsure of what the district may be in the future, just talk several of the commissioner
candidates. Or, check out Island Rec on San Juan Island - it is a great example for what good leadership can do to promote recreation programs for
people of all ages. www.islandrec.org

Recreation programs provide physical activity and mental challenges that promote a healthy lifestyle. This proposal reflects what I want for our
community. Please join me and vote to APPROVE the recreation district.
