CRPA Park of Merit Award!
In September, East Hampton Parks and Recreation and the Seamster Park Playground committee was selected by the Connecticut Recreation & Parks Association (CRPA) to receive the 2019 Park/Facility of Merit Award. Today, the award was presented during the annual CRPA conference at Mohegan Sun Convention Center. Members of the Parks and Recreation department including Jeremy Hall, Director; Shawn Mullen, Program Coordinator; Sheri Yorker, Office Assistant; along with committee members Sheryl Dougherty, Deb McKinney and Dan Roy were in attendance to receive the award.
