| To clarify the organization surrounding the Recreation Center: |
|
The Recreation Center is operated by a city appointed board called the "Recreation Board" and that board reports to the city council. The Recreation Board actually sets policy and operating rules reporting to the city council who has final authority. The Recreation Board member are as follows: President - Dick Huckfeldt - 1-573-687-3299 Secretary - Jodi Rush - 1-573-687-3463 Board Member - Bill Wilson - 1-573-687-3398 Board Member - Betty Ridgway - 1-573-687-3884 Board Member - Frank Curtis - 1-573-687-3727 Board Member - Johnny Robinson - 1-573-687-3837 Board Member - Darrin Kelly - 1-573-687-3401 The "Sturgeon Recreation Association (SRA)" is a 501 (C)(3) non-profit association that formed for the purpose to raise funds to construct the Rec Center and support the Rec Center on going as well as other projects in the Sturgeon Community that promote health, fitness, and recreation in the community. As a recognized 501 (C)(3) association all contributions to the Sturgeon Recreation Association are tax deductible. The SRA is independent of the City but works closely with the Recreation Board to support the Rec Center. The officers of the SRA are: President - Johnny Robinson - 1-573-687-3837 - jlrobinson@socket.net Vice President - Darrin Kelly - 1-573-687-3401 Secretary - Debbie Blakemore - 1-573-687-3635 Treasurer - Debbie Ritchie - 1-573-687-3078 - dritchie@socket.net Board Member - Stan Brooks - 1-573-687-3292 Board Member - Steve Crosswhite - 1-573-687-3425 The Rec Center was officially opened on 7/1/01. The building is debt free with all funds raised from cash contributions, grants, fund raisers. User fees expenses are expected to cover daily operating expenses. However we still need to buy additional equipment for the exercise area and donations are needed for that purpose. As you will see from the pictures we have quite a bit of weight training equipment that was purchased from the University of Missouri but we still need cardiovascular and aerobic equipment. Contributions to the City of Sturgeon for projects like this are also tax deductible. |
