We are looking for Garfield Township residents who are interested in serving on a newly created Parks and Recreation Commission. Commission members will work with Township Staff and the Grand Traverse Conservation District to assist in the administration of over 400 acres of beautiful parkland, including Silver Lake Park, Kid's Creek Park, the Grand Traverse Commons Natural Area, the Boardman Nature Reserve, the Hughes Drive Nature Reserve, and the Miller Creek Nature Reserve. The Commission will also be involved in various parks and recreation planning projects and grant requests.

Parks and Recreation Commissioners will serve on a voluntary basis, with an anticipated meeting schedule of one meeting per month during a weekday afternoon. If you are interested in serving on this Commission, please submit a letter of interest to Supervisor Chuck Korn today! Applications will be accepted until Friday, March 6, 2010. We look forward to hearing from you!
