WEST LINN - Take Care of West Linn Day is back for the third year in a row on May 14, 2011. This annual volunteer day has been a great succes in West Linn. After a productive three hours of volunteering, the Parks & Recreation Department welcomes all participating volunteers to a barbecue at Mary S Young Park from 12:00 - 1:30 p.m. This is just one way that the Parks & Recreation Department shows their appreciation for the volunteers.
The Parks & Recreation Advisory Board’s mission for Take Care of West Linn Day is to promote the value of volunteerism and community pride by making available opportunities for community members to participate in projects to give back to their community and maintain the high quality of life in West Linn. The goal is to facilitate a large number of projects throughout the City led by community organizations or individuals. Individuals also have the opportunity to join one of these projects and provide an after-event to recognize volunteers.
Local organizations can choose to organize their own project or partner with another existing project. The Parks and Recreation Department will help with identifying a project and planning your project. There is also an opportunity to register yourself or family for an existing project.
In 2010 Take Care of West Linn Day had 18 different projects, located at 15 different sites, accomplished by 19 local groups.
Please contact the City of West Linn if your organization is interested in participating in Take Care of West Linn Day. Contact Ken Warner at 503-557-4700 or email kwarner@westlinnoregon.gov to set up group project or for more details.
