MAD RIVER VALLEY RECREATION DISTRICT Since its inception in 1993 the Mad River Valley Recreation District (MRVRD) has evolved into an organization that provides financing and additional support to assist new and existing recreation programs within the membership towns of Fayston,Warren and Waitsfield. MRVRD distributes funds upon review and approval of a submitted proposal and budget.
MRVRD funded a number of exciting projects this year, which included the yearly support of the Skatium and the Mad River Path Association. MRVRD provided funding to Mad River Park to help maintain the soccer and lacrosse fields and to lease the field for public use. MRVRD contributed to Open Hearth for the creation of their nature walk, to the Vermont Mountain Biking organization for their work on trails in Camel Hump State Forest, to the Mad Bike Project to help get it jump started, and to the Waitsfield School for work on their community playground. MRVRD is requesting funds for the fiscal year 2009 in the amount of $12,500 from each contributing town, which is the same amount as last year. We received requests in excess of $35,000 for the year and expect more requests to come during the summer months. The MRVRD Board encourages groups and individuals who are interested in creating recreational opportunities in the Mad River Valley to contact any member of the Board to discuss funding guidelines for their proposals or programs. The board meets monthly to discuss requests and encourages involvement and input from community members. Our meetings are always open to the public. Please visit MRVRD's website to view the proposal guidelines at www.madriverrec.com. You can also leave us a phone message at 583-1600 or send mail to PO Box 721 in Waitsfield. The volunteer MRVRD board members have been appointed by the Select Boards of their respective towns and serve 2-3 year terms. Ken Felderman,
Fayston - President
