 My name is Randy Davis. I'm the Director of Parks and Recreation for the City of Columbia. July is National Parks and Recreation Month, where we celebrate the vital role parks and recreation professionals play in bringing people together. Providing essential services and fostering the growth of our communities, parks and recreation professionals make a positive impact on their community members every single day. The City of Columbia Parks and Recreation Department has had a great year impacting the community in a variety of ways. We have collaborated with a local nonprofit to provide fresh and healthy foods for residents in the 29203 zip code, distributed over 8,000 pounds of food to more than 650 households, and that program is still ongoing. We've invested over $1 million to improve outdoor basketball courts, install public use computers, and improve access to the river. Partnerships with companies such as Under Armour and Walmart have allowed us to offer free sports clinics for youth, giveaway free bikes, and work close with our underserved communities. And lastly, this summer, children have had an opportunity to take part in tennis camps, gardening workshops, golf camps, outdoor adventure on the river, and our great summer camps at our local recreation centers. I want to commend our staff for the essential work that they do and let them know that what they do is a tremendous benefit to the community. We know that there's so much work to be done and we are happy to do it because we love what we do. I hope it shows in our everyday interactions with the great people of this city, let's celebrate National Parks and Recreation Month by telling someone who works at a local park, thank you.
