Redmond Rotary Club gives cash donation to Anderson Park improvements

Anderson Park shelter

At the February 1, 2011 Regular Council meeting City Council authorized the mayor to accept a cash donation of $15,000 from the Redmond Rotary Club.  The donation will partially fund the rehabilitation of the Anderson Park Picnic Shelter. 

Anderson Park is listed on the National Register of of Historic Places and the log picnic shelter is one of the primary contributing features.  The Redmond Historical Society's Annual picnic is held at the shelter.   Have you ever used the shelter?   

The rehabilitation work includes replacement of rotten or missing logs, roof replacement and repairs to the outdoor fireplace.  During the Council meeting, Councillor Stilin indicated the Rotarians want to also contribute to the physical aspects of the rehabilitation in some way.

To recognize the Rotarians contribution to the project, the Rotarians have requested a plaque be installed in close proximity to the renovated picnic shelter.   The plaque will be no larger than 8" x 10" and approved by Parks.  It appears Council okayed the plaque.
