Amherst Leisure Services has 
partnered with the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute to 
carry
 out a recreational programming needs assessment and comprehensive 
strategic plan. The final plan will provide the department with a 
vision, mission and strategic direction for the next three to five 
years. Information gathered from the community will be a
 vital part of this process. Participation via surveys and 
community-wide input gathering/visioning sessions is crucial. Join a Community Meeting on either Tuesday, 10/29 at 6:30 PM at Crocker 
Farm Elementary School Cafeteria or Thursday, 11/21
 at 5:30 PM at Wildwood Elementary School Cafeteria.
