what is going on in their respective parks systems.

Two Rivers Park
Whom: Board/Commission members and support staff from each jurisdiction.
Cost: $12 per person. Cash or checks/money orders payable to "Benton
County Parks" only, please.
Dinner: Buffet style, BBQ fare, catered by Country Gentleman.
Program: Social mixer with open seating until about 6:30. Then we will begin
presentations. A short keynote will be given by Benton County, then each
jurisdiction should plan to use 10-12 minutes to talk about what is happening
in their park system. A microphone will be in use; visual aids are good.
Theme: "Parks Repurposing"... Benton County will discuss how introducing
disc golf to Two Rivers revitalized the 40-year old park, bringing new visitors
and extending the formerly attenuated use season to a full 12 months.
Perhaps you have a similar story you can share.
Venue: We will be outside at Two Rivers. Although we will be in the shade, it
is July and it will be"warm". The nearby office will be cooled for comfort.
RSVP: This is very important so that we can get an accurate head count.
Please RSVP with your jurisdiction's point-of-contact by Thursday, July 21.
