July
3: ROD Doug
Kuntz started this month’s programs off by introducing speaker
Bill Pritchard, District 98 State Representative. Bill let us know
that the Arkansas Veteran’s Home in the old Washington Regional
building will become a reality with full funding. He suggested there
might be a special legislative session in September to address the
funding mandate of the state’s school systems, and reiterated
what we club members already knew: the Bobby New could easily run
all of Northwest Arkansas’ school districts!
July
10: ROD Chuck
Culver introduced the City of Fayetteville’s Parks and Recreation
Program Coordinator David Wright, who related some surprising and
inspirational facts about our local parks. This park system is the
largest in NWA, with over 3,300 acres of community parks and recreational
complexes, including three fishing lakes! David assures us that
his department is dedicated to improving the quality of life for
the people of Fayetteville, Arkansas. You can read more about this
department here
