Hello Stilwell !

Thanks for taking a moment to review some of the great things going on in Stilwell!

Join the SPIRIT OF STILWELL.  Please review the following and see if you have an interest in one of our 10 committees in 2012-2013. If any of the following are of interest, please contact me directly (sco@stilwellcommunity.org).  Please know that our structure is that committee meetings occur as needed to accomplish objectives of the committee so agreeing to help doesn't mean you will have yet another re-occurring meeting to attend.  We have a busy year ahead of us and I welcome any support you can offer in helping us achieve our goals for the upcoming year.  

Stilwell Community Park Development Committee

I WILL HELP!

Thank you Pastor Dave for leading this initiative and taking over the reigns from the successful work of Denise Menefee in establishing the Camp Branch Creek Park for the Stilwell community. Meetings have occurred, we have support of the JOCO Parks Board, lease agreements are in hand and development is moving along. We need community volunteers to assist with tasks needing done to support the effort. We are  near launch time on making this happen for Stilwell.   Seriously, it is getting close! I want to thank Commissioner David Lindstrom for his support to the community along with Steve Baru (Parks and Rec. Board), Michael Meadors (Parks and Rec. Director), Cliff Middleton (Parks and Rec. Planning and Development Manager), Dean Palos (Director Johnson Co. Planning, Dvlp and Codes, and Pamela Hayhow, (Johnson Co. Planner).
