Director Murphy:

Feedback on summer programs: was excellent; social media was great; uptick in numbers was not accidental; putting signs in the park was a great way to not getting complacent. Chris deserves some recognition for doing an incredible job.

What was new on playground programs? Reopened Bradford and went back to Fore River. Had Happy Acre kids join in on the Rec program.

Next meeting scheduled for 10/5/25.
