Frates, Parks & Recreation Director DATE: September 10, 2013 SUBJECT: 2013 Flowerbed Review Purpose of correspondence is to advise you that we will be reviewing the various flowerbeds that were planted and cared for throughout this past summer. As you know, a few of us were able to visit the beds on Wednesday, August 28th. I snapped a few photos along the way and will put together a slide presentation so that we can all review the beds together. There were a handful of suggestions and ideas for next season that came up during the tour. I will bring these forward during the meeting as well. If you have pictures of various beds that you would like to share, please feel free to bring those to the meeting. Thanks for all you do keeping Kenai Beautiful and please contact me at 283 -3692 should you have any questions.
