Hillary Dickerson, Facilities Manager for the City of Galena, provided us with a few updates. The Fourth of July Parade will be organized by the City this year with a start time of 5:30pm. Further information will be provided as it becomes available.
New playground equipment is expected to be installed this year at Bouthillier Street, Hill Street, and Old City Cemetery. Hillary provided us with information regarding all upgraded equipment and costs for each site. Our Club’s Run For The Parks is a major sponsor to Park improvements.
We are grateful to Gerry Rojemann for his recent donation of $500 in memory of his wife, Mardy Rojemann. These funds will be targeted to the Race for The Parks event which will be held on April 23rd.
Mardy was an avid champion of our club who passed suddenly this past year. Thank you so much to the Rojemann Family for their continued support of our Club in her memory.
