ICASAB USCOU I <br /> <br />June 29, 2001 <br /> <br />To: <br /> <br />Cabarrus County Manager <br />Cabarrus County Deputy Manager <br />Cabarrus County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />From: <br /> <br />Mr. Steve L. Little, Director <br />Cabarrus County Parks and Recreation Department <br /> <br />Subject: National Recreation and Parks Month <br /> <br />Attached is a resolution proclaiming July as Recreation and Parks Month in <br />Cabarrus County. The following is a brief summary of the National Recreation <br />and Parks Month celebration: <br /> <br /> July is National Recreation and Parks Month. It was <br />designated as such in 1956 by the National Recreation and Parks <br />Association (NRPA) at the request of recreation leaders nationwide. <br />They implored their national association to designate a month for <br />the purpose of promoting the benefits of parks and focusing public <br />attention on recreation and its importance for satisfying living. June <br />was the month initially selected, but it was shifted to July due to the <br />extension of the school year in 1985. In recognition of this month, <br />local, state and federal parks and recreation agencies throughout <br />the country are scheduling Celebrate July activities and <br />celebrations. <br /> <br />If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me. Thank <br />you for your cooperation concerning these matters. <br /> <br /> Parks and Recreation Department <br /> <br />65 Church Street SE · P.O.
