Mary Lock - Letter to Editor

I am addressing several statements made during the Peshtigo Park and Recreation meeting that was held on Monday, Jan. 23, 2023.

1. The $1,000 allocated by the City of Peshtigo was in fact an amount the Skateboard Committee gave to the city for maintenance of the skateboard park. This was not money out of the City of Peshtigo budget.

2. The Peshtigo Woman’s Club, Inc. is in no way part of the skateboard park either during the construction or presently.

3. The skateboard park was a project originating by John and Donna Berman for the youth of our communities.  All monies were earned by the parents and youth wanting a safe place to display their individual skateboarding talents.  No city money was ever involved, although it would definitely have been appreciated.

4. Cans for Kids funding was used only for the skateboard park until the project was completed.  The funds collected now go to help local families with young children dealing with severe health issues and family crises.
