Why Get Connected?
G
et Connected is a phrase you will be hearing more often
around Metroparks. It’s more than a headline or slogan – it’s
an invitation.
If you received this magazine in the mail, you are connected through
membership. Others are connected through volunteerism, frequent
park visits, planned giving or other ways. Those who are connected
in one way tend to be connected in multiple ways.
When you see Get Connected on an envelope or publication, it means
that inside is an invitation to get to know Metroparks in new ways.
There are two equally important reasons for Metroparks to connect
with the community:
• The Metroparks belong to you, and it’s your tax dollars that
support them. We want all residents of Lucas County to feel
welcome in any Metropark, and we invite everyone to experience
all that the parks have to offer.
• Another reason is that we need your help. Tax dollars don’t pay
for all the costs of running the park district. The donations of
money, time and talent by thousands of generous supporters
are critical. That support is even more important in difficult
economic times.
We invite you to Get Connected and stay connected.
