Letter to the editor: get involved in community center discussion

letter

To the editor:

Join the community center conversation! The town is evaluating options to address the facility needs of the Council on Aging, the Parks and Recreation Department and various community organizations that use town space. A variety of solutions are being considered—from adapting existing buildings to new construction and from multiple, discrete projects to one large multifaceted solution—and we’re interested in your opinion. There are a number of ways to get involved:

  1. Visit the Community Center Study Committee website at https://lincolntown.org/index.aspx?nid=569 and take some time to learn about the issues being considered. Our webpage has everything you need to know, including a summary of the topic, a timeline of the public process up to this point, links to town reports and video presentations of our public meetings. It’s an easy way to catch up on the conversation.
  2. Complete our survey! After you’ve caught up, provide some feedback in this brief three-question survey, which closes on Sunday, Nov. 9.
  3. Attend our upcoming public meetings:
  • Friday, Nov. 7 at 8:15 a.m. during the Lincoln PTO meeting
  • Saturday, Nov. 15 at 9 a.m. at the State of the Town meeting

Both meetings will be held in the Brooks School auditorium in conjunction with the School Building Advisory Committee. We will both be providing an update of our work and soliciting feedback. (Babysitting is available for State of the Town meeting; contact Linda Hammet-Ory at lhamme@aol.com.)

We hope you’ll take the time to participate in our process. Your input is critical to our work!

Sincerely,

Dan Pereira
Community Center Study Committee
Director, Parks and Recreation Department
