Received
I know first hand of the continued growth in our Towns Recreation Department,
and the need to try and balance a number of activities accruing all at once.
We have had the position of Vice Chairman available to us for some time. But last
time it was used was at least a couple of years ago. Its difficult to come up with the
person to fill this role. He or she must have the qualifications, that includes knowledge of
our Towns Recreation policies, the ability to listen and work with people and most
important, is the strong desire to perform in this capacity.
I believe we have found this person, and I recommend to all, that he be given the
opportunity to take on this assignment and provide additional leadership to the Recreation
Department.
The person I recommend is Mr. Gary Trudell. Gary has been a member of the
Commission for almost five (5) years. He is retired from his work with IBM after 29
years of service and has coached Little League baseball for over 25 years. He works well
with his peers and has a great personality. In our latest endeavor the Winterfest program
held at Carnwath, he was my right hand man and in my absence performed very well in
seeing that our plan was carried out. I can see that he is capable of being a great help to
Recreation and I once again recommend his appointment as Vice Chairman of Town of
Wappinger Recreation.
Sincerely,
Ralph J. Holt
Chairman, Town of Wappinger Recreation
