PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE A warm welcome and congratulations are on the top of my list as I write this letter.

Welcome to Pete Mayer, the new director of Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation. We are excited to have him in Clark County and look forward to working with him.

If you have not had a chance to meet Pete, I hope you will plan to join us at the June 9 Parks Foundation Annual Meeting and Luncheon. He will serve as keynote speaker for the event.

Congratulations to Florence Wager, named 2009 First Citizen of Clark County. This is an honor very well deserved by Florence. She is a strong advocate for parks, trails, and open spaces for Clark County, and a long time member of the Parks Foundation and has been a supporter and inspiration to this community. Florence, on behalf of the Parks Foundation, thank you for all you do.

This message to you is my final one as I conclude my term as president. I wish to thank the board of directors for completing an enormous amount of work this year and for all your support. You are truly a “working board” and I appreciate the time you have committed to moving this organization forward. Our strategic plan, new logo, and marketing plan are just a few of our major accomplishments.

The accomplishment I am most proud of is the awarding of the first Parks Foundation Community Grants this year. In times of budget cuts and shrinking revenues, it is great to be able to provide funds to communities and their park and recreation programs that might otherwise have been cut. Grant recipients will be recognized at the annual meeting.

I am also excited to see our membership grow. A drive past any park in Clark County on any given day will show you why the Parks Foundation is important. If you are not a member I hope you will join us, if you are a member please make certain you keep your membership current, and if your membership has lapsed I hope you will join us again.

Susan Johnston – President

PARKS FOUNDATION GRANTS AWARDED

The parks, trails, and recreation programs of Battle Ground, Ridgefield, and Washougal are all just a little better off this year thanks to the Parks Foundation’s newly-launched Community Grant Award program. Battle Ground Parks and Recreation will apply the $4,000 grant it received towards the launch of a traveling summer playground program in city parks. Ridgefield’s $2,000 grant will provide new skateboard equipment for the city’s Community Park. The $1,200 grant awarded to the City of Washougal provided supplies in support of the April 18 Mable Kerr trail building day, which was presented in partnership with the Parks Foundation. A second round of Community Grant Award recipients will be announced at the foundation’s June 9 Annual Meeting and

Luncheon.

Florence Wager Named Clark County’s 2009 First Citizen

Congratulations to Florence Wager, Clark County’s First Citizen for 2009. The annual First Citizen Award recognizes a Clark County resident who has exemplified citizenship through her or his actions and service to the community. Recipients of the

award, presented since 1939, are selected by a volunteer committee of community leaders and past award recipients.

A driving force in the 1999 establishment of the Parks Foundation and a founding member of its board of directors, Florence has a deep understanding and knowledge of the importance of establishing a long term and reliable source of funding for the parks, trails, and recreation programs of Clark County.

It was through her leadership that the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Everybody Plays! Recreation Scholarship program, which ensures that every child in Clark County is provided access to recreational programs and an opportunity to participate in youth sports leagues, was established.

A committed and dedicated champion of our community’s parks, trails, and recreation programs and centers, Florence was the driving force behind both the funding and construction of the Firstenburg Community Center and the recent

renovation of the Marshall Community Center. Her role as co-chair of the Metropolitan Park District ballot measure was a vital component in the successful passage of the measure which provided maintenance and operations funding for 30 new neighborhood parks, five new community parks, seven miles of new walking trails, and additional sports field capacity to meet the needs of the county's youth sports programs.

As co-chair of the Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation Advisory Commission, Florence is committed to ensuring the development of new sports fields, protecting and preserving conservation areas, implementing a community gardens program, and developing a county-wide trail system.

Florence is highly respected and well-known for her strong and consistent advocacy before the Vancouver City Council, the Board of Clark County Commissioners, and the Washington State Legislature, lobbying for support of our community’s parks, trails, recreation programs, and any and all programs promoting a healthy lifestyle.

Thanks to Florence, Clark County is a much, much better place to live, work, play, and raise a family. We owe her a tremendous debt of gratitude and respect. The honor will be bestowed on Wednesday, June 10, at an event at the Hilton Vancouver from 4-6 p.m. Tickets are $35 per person and can be reserved by calling the Greater Vancouver Chamber of Commerce at 694-2588.

“The influence of a beautiful, helpful character is contagious, and may revolutionize a whole town.”

VOLUNTEERS…

BLANFORD CANYON IVY PULL

More than 70 volunteers turned out for the April 25 Blanford Canyon Ivy Pull. Volunteers from Comcast, Fort Vancouver High School students from the Dynamic Young Men program, and members of the Downtown Vancouver Rotary Club joined neighbors from Southcliff and surrounding neighborhoods. Vancouver City Mayor Royce Pollard and City Councilman Larry Smith also came by to show their support for the project. There was so much ivy pulled that the drop boxes were filled and the crew had to quit early.

This grassroots effort to protect and preserve the beautiful green space of Blanford Canyon is growing and the neighborhood is making headway on controlling the ivy problem in the canyon. There is increasing awareness and more people are pitching in to help out. The April 25 event was the third large ivy pull in the past year and many neighbors help out throughout the year by organizing smaller efforts.

It was very encouraging to see so many wonderful volunteers out in force. Maddie Von Baeyer, AmeriCorps volunteer coordinator, did a terrific job organizing and making sure everyone had fun. A big thank you to all who helped out!

Washougal Trail Building Day The City of Washougal’s April 18 Trail Building Day, presented in partnership with the Parks Foundation, drew 50 eager volunteers representing all corners of Clark County for a tree planting, invasive species pulling, gravel spreading day of fun! The volunteer effort was aimed at helping the city complete a section of the Mable Kerr Park trail loop in downtown Washougal. A big thank you to Cemex, Starbucks, and Sunrise Bagels for their in-kind sponsorship support of the event.

Eagle Scout Project is now Eagle’s View Park RIDGEFIELD MAYOR AND RIDGEFIELD HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT TEAM UP TO DEVELOP A NEW PARK FOR THE CITY

Ian Boyle, a 14-year old Ridgefield resident working on his Eagle Scout rank, recently collaborated with Mayor Ron Onslow in the design and construction of a new park on a vacant lot at the end of South Main Avenue in Ridgefield, Washington.

The one-quarter acre park, which boasts spectacular views of the Ridgefield National Wildlife Refuge, provides the public with benches and a picnic area. What was once a community eyesore now provides a wonderful place to enjoy a meal, view the Wildlife Refuge or just relax and take pleasure in a beautiful sunset.

Ian recommended that the park be named Eagle’s View Park stating he watched eagles flying overhead while he worked on the park, as well as citing his completion of the project in assisting him obtain his Eagle Scout rank. The name was officially approved at the Ridgefield City Council meeting on March 26, 2009.

This project would not have been possible without tremendous grassroots volunteer community support and generous contributions from local businesses and organizations.

Mayor’s Ball Benefits Ridgefield Overlook Park Eighty guests attended the January 24 City of Ridgefield Mayor’s Ball. As one guest commented upon entering the ballroom, "I have never seen so many tuxedos in Ridgefield!"

The event, which raised approximately $3,500 in support of the Ridgefield Refuge Overlook Park project, included a wonderful dinner, dancing to the tunes of the Al Perez Band, wine tasting, and lots of fun. Twelve students from Ridgefield High School served food, members of the Ridgefield Boy Scouts bussed tables and checked coats, and local community members tended bar, greeted guests, supervised the kitchen, and performed the event set-up and clean up. A true community volunteer effort!

Several civic-minded individuals who were unable to attend the event purchased tickets and donated them to those who might not have otherwise been able to attend. As event co-organizer and Onslow’s wife, Sandy Schill, said, “That kind of generosity just really warms my heart.” Sandy also commented that she and Onslow received continuous thanks from all who attended and numerous requests to stage a repeat event again next year. The city’s first couple extend a warm round of thanks to the many businesses and individuals who contributed to the overwhelming success of the event.
