Mary Kay and Larry were instrumental in ushering the park district

through a very difficult period in much of 2013 and 2014. Their

integrity, insight and courage were key to the district’s turnaround

and return to the award-winning recreation agency we have always known

– the agency our community deserves.

As new commissioners, Rob and Mimi have made the board fully

productive and functional once again. Each brings thoughtful

perspective and keen intelligence to what can be a challenging

position.

All four of these dedicated public servants are to be thanked for

volunteering so much of their time, talent, and energy to the

Plainfield Park District. Please support them on April 7th.

Thank you.

Jennifer Bertino-Tarrant

State Senator 49th District
