by Mike Loveman, Chair of the Parks, Recreation, Environment Committee

On
Saturday, February 16, 2008, 20 members and outside
volunteers of the
Kiwanis Club of Roanoke spent three hours doing a clean-up
of the Lick Run Greenway Trail, which is adjacent to
Washington City Park near the downtown area of Roanoke.
During the clean-up project over 50 tires and 30+ large
bags of trash were recovered. The Lick Run Greenway
has become an ongoing project of the Kiwanis Club of
Roanoke's Parks, Recreation and Environment Committee
which soon hopes to officially "adopt" the trail through the City of Roanoke's "Adopt a Park Program".




















By
the time you read this, the proposed Strategic Plan has
been reviewed in two increments by the District Long
Range Planning Committee,
those incremental results have been endorsed by the
District Board, and four of the eight District Regions
have had
the opportunity to attend presentations on "VISION: 20/15", to include the Strategic Plan. Between now and mid-April, all remaining Regions
will share in that opportunity. From there, all input
from all sources will be considered before the Board
endorses a final version of the Plan. That final version
will be presented to the House of Delegates for ratification
in Richmond this Summer. Once ratified by the delegates,
the plan belongs to the District membership and the
District Board will be charged with executing it.
