CPRS
CPRS President Lydie Gutfeld challenged CPRS members at the CPRS Annual Conference and Expo to be part of either the 30 under 30 or 50 over 50 Challenge. For the second part of the challenge, CPRS is looking for 50 testimonials from professionals over the age of 50 that share experiences in our field, their lessons learned, their wishes for the future. These testimonials will be posted on social media, on the CPRS website, newsletter, and also printed in our parks and recreation magazine throughout the year.
Here is what we need you to do:
1. Create a testimonial (no more than 150 words) to share with the CPRS membership.
Categories include:
- A great experience
- A lesson learned
- Where you think the future of Parks and Rec is going/ or what you wish for the future of Parks and Rec
- "Parks and Rec made me ..." finish the story
2. Provide a high quality photo for us to post
3. Provide a bio for the newsletter/web posts
We can’t wait to read it, share it, and learn from it! You are an inspiration. Thank you for taking the time to help the future of parks and recreation! Email your entry to john@cprs.org.

The treatment uses organic fertilizer and compost tea to establish a strong root system while feeding the soil with healthy microbes.
