One outcome of these meetings is an opportunity for Parks and Recreation to market programs in one of the Community Education catalogs. The first catalog that Parks and Recreation will have programs listed in will be send home with students that attend schools in Elk River the week of March 11 and will feature upcoming summer programs and events.
