STRATEGIC and FINANCIAL PLANNING

With the financial support of the David Nichols Trust (Northwest Savings Bank Charitable Trust), the Arlene Smith Charitable Foundation and the Corry Community Foundation, Mead Park has engaged the professional services of Alan Kugler of PA Futures to develop a strategy for the future. Together we have identified several major undertakings necessary to the continued operations of Mead Park. Some of these projects include replacement of water lines, electric service lines, grading and drainage of roads through the park and construction of a maintenance building. Mr. Kugler is currently working with the Directors to develop best business practices, re-writing of our By-Laws to include Standing committees with specific accountabilities, and establishing a financial focus so that we are able to do the work we need to do. An important part of our service to the community is to offer reservations at affordable rates and the free use of our trails, and athletic facilities to the Corry area. There are 12 Board members and many of us actively volunteer for other groups in the community. We are seeking individuals that are willing to help us through fund-raising and other kinds of support as a separate group such as The Friends of Mead Park. This organization could collect annual dues, and would not be limited to residents of Corry, but would offer the opportunity for people from all areas to support Mead Park.
