A committee has been formed to spearhead a community Recreation Center in Ouray County. They feel it is time; do you?

We envision all kinds of possibilities – a gymnasium, a total workout facility (with babysitting, of course), a place where family, anyone, can go have fun and get healthy; a facility that offers all kinds of activities to stimulate minds and keep healthy bodies.

How about a climbing wall? Pilates, yoga, strength training, etc.? A place to recreate, inside and out? Does it need a pool? Recreation leagues of volleyball, basketball or bowling? A community garden? A place to watch movies? A hockey rink? Yikes!

We’d love to hear what you would like to create there. Everyone has something to offer – an idea, a service, a skill. It takes a community to build this kind of facility; to take ownership of it. We are looking forward to hearing all of your good feedback. Watch for updates every couple of weeks.

You can call me at 708-0684 or 325-0133 or email tedguest2003@yahoo.com. You can also contact Barbara Fleming at 275-8005.
