Alton Parks and Recreation – Let’s Play Program Thank You!
The Alton Parks and Recreation Department sponsored a free basketball program this winter for grades K-3 where everyone was invited to play basketball. The program was a success with children learning, playing and having fun!
The Parks and Recreation Department would like to acknowledge and thank the people that made the Let’s Play Basketball Program possible. A huge thank you to the generous sponsors who provided T-shirts, basketball equipment and drill stations: The Boys Landscaping; Alton Excavation; JHVAC Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning; RBGx2 Trucking and Construction, and Karen’s Shirt Barn. Thank you to the helping parent volunteers who shared their love of basketball with the players and a special thank you to head coaches Erick, Andrea and Kathy Bourdeau.
