The Brownsville/Haywood County Parks and Recreation
Dept., along with the City of Brownsville, has won the Excellence in
Parks Award. The award was presented by the Tennessee Municipal League (TML)
at a conference in Nashville on Sunday, June 25, 2006, and is for the Webb F.
Banks Passive Park on Key Corner St. Passive Park has been nominated and won
several awards in the State. “We are so fortunate to have this great park in
our town,” says Parks and Rec. Director Nancy Cates, who, along with Anne
Banks and Mayor Webb Banks, were on hand to accept the award. Cates and her
crew do a great job of keeping up several locations all over town, including
the City Pool which is now open Monday through Friday, from 12 – 5 p.m., and
Sunday from 1-5 p.m. (They will be open July 4, too. Admission is $2.00 for
12 and up, and $1 for 11 and under.) Truth be told, I’m sure they have a hand
in a lot more than we know about or give them credit for. So, thank you,
Nancy, and thank you to all the Parks and Rec. team. You work really hard to
make us look good and we appreciate it. Congratulations, also, to Mayor Webb
Banks on being named the TML’s Mayor of the Year. Looking for something to do this
summer? The Senior Center at College Hill needs volunteers to help deliver
meals, especially on Monday mornings during the months of July – Sept. It
will normally only take about an hour of your time and you will be doing a
great service for the shut-ins of our community. If you are interested, call
Josephine Timbes at 731-772-9171. |
