Valdese Parks and Rec Director Doug Knight spoke about the need for community support when applying for the PARTF grant to purchase the 300 acres on Lake Rhodhiss for a passive park. He asked for a letter of support from the club to submit with the grant application. The last time Doug presented to the club, he asked for a letter of support for the Downtown Park. So, he gave an update on that project that will be completed at the end of June.
