A RECENT LETTER SENT TO COUNCIL:
Dear Tom and members of council. Yesterday I drove out to Madoc to see the further development of your beautiful park, in particular the new Arts Centre. It is a jewel of a building, and the entire park is such a boom for your community and a credit to your group and all the others who supported the initiative. Please convey my congratulations to Carman Donato as well, for leasing the Skateboard Committee and starting the hard work that turned an old baseball diamond into the asset that now stands in its place. Hats off to all of you!
Best regards Pat Culhane
