Update 3/16 2:11pm - Added draft design.

Jill Nickerson & I have been working very hard on creating a skate park on the Island in Blossburg as a Blossburg V.I.B.E. project. She's presenting to borough council tonight. I hope that we've addressed all their questions. We met with Mike Glazier, U.S. Rep. John Petererson's (R-Pa. 23rd) district representative on Friday and gave him a tour of the Island. He said the representative will contribute a letter of support, and that their office is very impressed by V.I.B.E.'s work in Blossburg.

Here are all the documents we've created:

For the public meeting March 5:

• Press release
  
• School announcement We also had a public meeting notice in the legal section of the Wellsboro Gazette and a nice block ad in the Penny Saver.
  
• Meeting Agenda
  
• Other Parks' rules
  

For borough council meeting March 12:

• Draft design of skate park
  
• Prepared resolution that accompanies the DCNR grant application
  
• Q&A
  
• Draft budget
  
• Skate park rules - draft
  
• Letter of support from V.I.B.E.
  
• Binder with the Q&A, budget, drawings of the proposed skate park, pictures of Sunbury and Ithaca skate parks, the NYTimes article about obesity in Blossburg, and the Tony Hawk Foundation grant guidelines.
  

Next Skate Board meeting: 3/22, 6pm, library community room.
