11/13/13 - The Howell Area Parks and Recreation Authority is gearing up for another full season with a number of projects and events this month. Newly-hired Authority Director Paul Rogers provided an update to the Howell City Council at Monday nightâs meeting. He tells WHMI theyâre moving forward with a lot of things and gearing up for the buck pole at the Marion Township Hall this Friday, to be followed by a volunteer recognition event and the 7th annual Turkey Stroll later this month. Rogers says improvements are also being made to a building that will become the Oceola Community Center. He says the township is leasing it to the Authority for $1 per year, and theyâll be looking at what different types of programming could be offered since their other facilities are full. The building being leased is the old 2/42 Church on Latson Road, located next to the Oceola Township hall and the fire station. Rogers says part of it is being leased to a construction company thatâs developing the north side. He says the other portion that used to be the chapel-area will be re-done by the company with new carpet, paint and blinds being added. He says that work is being done in lieu of rent and itâs a win-win for everyone involved. Meanwhile, a link to complete details about Friday's buck pole and other events can found below. (JM)
