Information from the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District--
The Livermore Area Recreation and Park District Foundation recently welcomed a new member to its Board of Trustees.
Courtney Michels, a retired Livermore resident, brings her experience of volunteer fundraising and working with local charities to the Board. Her work background includes business advisory services, executive coaching and helping senior executives grow the revenue and profit of their businesses. She has more than 20 years of corporate management experience with technology and telecommunications companies with a strong record of success in revenue generation and profit improvement. She enjoys getting outside by taking walks through various LARPD parks and trails and also has a son who is a forest ranger.
The Foundation is also continuing its brick donation program to help support upkeep and upgrades to the new synthetic turf fields at Robertson Park. Community residents and businesses are invited to purchase a brick at the fields. The program provides an opportunity to commemorate an individual or a team, as well as demonstrate business support for the local community. A portion of each donation will also be put into the Foundation's Endowment Fund to support LARPD.
Past projects of the LARPD Foundation include providing AEDS for park ranger vehicles, the monument sign at the Robert Livermore Community Center and scholarships for low-income participants.
Bricks sized 4-by-8 inches cost $250; bricks sized 12-by-12 inches are $550. Graphics may cost extra. All LARPD Foundation donations are tax deductible. To purchase a gift that lasts and for more information, call 925-373-5786 or obtain a donation form online at http://www.larpd.dst.ca.us/board/donations.html.
