Reasons for wanting to serve on this board: I believe that improved parks and recreation options are attractive to all ages and enhance the quality of life for everyone. The health and social benefits are also an added bonus to the community. We often have to leave Orange County to use neighboring county parks and recreation areas due to the limit offerings in our area. Often this translates to lost revenue for Orange County since we will spend money in neighboring counties while using the parks, etc. I know other families have a similar experience and therefore the County would benefit tremendously in health and revenue if additional /improved options were available nearby.
