Message from the

General Manager

SUMMER 2014

“Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.” This quote from Ben Franklin was the hallmark of our agrarian society in his day. While sleep is important, we do many more things to try to be “healthy, wealthy, and wise” these days. LARPD provides the “healthy” and “wise” pieces through our many fitness and enrichment programs, classes and camps for all ages. You’re on your own for the “wealthy” piece! Part of our mission is to “…stimulate, educate and enrich the lives of people within the District.” We do this by offering the many sports, fitness, swimming, and social activities listed in this summer edition of “Parks & Play.” And while these activities are all good for your heart, by featuring the LARPD Foundation in our center spread story, we hope you will also “have a heart” and donate needed funds to the many good works this Foundation does. From providing activity scholarships to low income families to providing needed park features and facilities enhancements, the LARPD Foundation continues its long history of raising funds to benefit the community. Our Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan is nearly complete. This updated Master Plan will guide the District for years to come and we appreciate your giving us your feedback. Shea Homes is now building Cayetano Park near Las Positas College. The park, planned with LARPD and city staff and paid for from Shea Homes development fees, will be turned over to LARPD to operate. It will feature a dog park (our 7th!), playground, synthetic turf lighted field, restrooms, picnic areas and basketball court. Watch for a grand opening announcement this fall. The declared drought has changed the appearance of over 40 park areas we maintain for you, and we don’t like it one bit. However, we are doing our part for water conservation, with a 20% cutback in water usage. With thousands of sprinkler heads and miles of irrigation pipe to manage, it “takes a village” to be sure it is working efficiently. So, please report any water issues to park maintenance at (925) 960-2440. Finally, take time to find something new in here just for you. A healthier and happier “you” makes others around you healthier and happier, too! Now, get out and play, enjoy your summer!

Donations can be earmarked by a donor for a specific purpose or these gifts can go to the general fund for a variety of projects and events. Some recent Foundation accomplishments include: • Sponsor low-income individuals and families for 55+ programs, Aquatics and Water Polo.

LARPD FOUNDATION “From what we get, we can make a living; what we give, however, makes a life.” ~Arthur Ashe Tennis Player, Activist

LARPD Foundation Research out of the University of California, Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center confirms the positive benefits of giving. The Center advocates that giving is good for your well-being, happiness and health, promotes community connectedness, generates gratitude, and is contagious. And sowing and nurturing philanthropic opportunities is what the LARPD Foundation has been doing for over 20 years. The official partner organization to the Livermore Area Recreation and Park District (LARPD), the LARPD Foundation serves

as the charitable avenue through which Livermore area residents can support valuable programs and services provided by LARPD.

Who We Are Established in 1993, the LARPD Foundation is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit that champions a wide

range of LARPD services, programs, and facilities. The organization is governed by an all-volunteer Board of Trustees. Foundation trustees are Anita Thompson (President), Chris Wilson (Vice President), Simona McCartney (Secretary), Delma Kline (Treasurer), Courtney Michels, Randy Schlientz, and Ralph Sherman. Each board trustee generously donates resources, time, expertise, and passionate advocacy, which means that less than 1% of your donation ends up in administrative costs and 100% in good hands.

What We Do The LARPD Foundation fosters the development of existing recreation and park facilities and programs in the Livermore area, complements activities of LARPD, and helps raise funds so everyone has the opportunity to play, learn, and grow in a healthy environment. Foundation sponsored Trikke vehicle

10:30-11:30am 8/12

LIVERMORE - For a number of years, LARPD has sought to reduce the amount of water the district uses and associated costs. Conservation efforts already in place include replacing natural turf areas with synthetic turf, planting more drought-tolerant materials, installing satellite monitored irrigation control systems and improving response time to leaks. New efforts include allowing planted areas to show more stress and not appear as “green” as before and promoting public acceptance that during drought conditions a less “green” and more “dry” appearance will be accepted. Residents who notice any water issues or irrigation problems in the parks and on sports fields are encouraged to call the park maintenance office at 925.373.2440.
