I have thoroughly enjoyed working with our past and present commission members, city staff, and council members! It has been a wonderful ~4.5 years, and I enjoyed getting to know each of you! I can honestly say that it has been a very enriching, rewarding, and educational experience to meet with you all, and contribute to the operations and future Parks & Recreation planning for the City of Crystal! For all of your dedication, assistance, and service to the city, and for welcoming me, and helping me jump right in (or dunk right in to cold water) with the Parks & Recreation Commission, I want to thank all of you for these fun and entertaining years! You truly *are* the ‘most FUN Commission’ in the City of Crystal! Thank you for the fun times, the memories, and for everything!
