Thoughts from the Director....
Our state-wide professional parent
organization, the WYOMING RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION, celebrates its 50th
anniversary September 21-24 at a special conference in Jackson Hole, entitled “Together
Toward Tomorrow Creating New Traditions.” This conference title implies a
shared history, along with a goal statement, that acknowledges solidarity to
create something new…better…for the future. This is not unlike PAC’s new
addition, now under construction. The
school district, along with PAC Staff & stakeholder support, is building
for the future of leisure and recreational services within an appreciative
community. PAC is the epitome of ‘new traditions,’ and we’re only getting
started. I am proud, and humbled at the same
time, to be part of this forward thinking enhancement to PAC. Our mandate is
simple…continue to serve our community better and better… Our national professional network, the
NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION, regularly discusses the benefits of
advocacy to promote a worthy project or initiative. It is the desire of PAC Staff to be diligent
in supplying open and regular communication and education to our stakeholders,
providing the facts about PAC, its programs and operational accountability; so
that our new addition is an example of building for our community’s future, not
only in program opportunities, but also in relationships. People coming together will always be where
the strength lies and where success follows.
PAC is committed.

PAC New Construction Update
Updated---August 29, 2014
Construction is on track and our
anticipated occupation date is still early spring 2015.
Our nearly 8000 square foot addition
will be at all three PAC levels.
Basement space includes freight entry, file storage, 2 offices and
equipment storage. At the gymnasium level,
there will be a vestibule with south-side egress that will include restrooms
and a water fountain and much needed storage space for PAC supplies and
equipment. Opening off of the track at
PAC’s second level, there will be a large studio room, capable of being divided
into two functional spaces. There will
also be a small fitness equipment storage room adjacent to this second story
activity space.
PAC Staff anticipate close to 100,000
total visits in 2014, surpassing 2013’s total of 95,500 visits. We know this additional storage and program
space will greatly enhance patron satisfaction, as more of what the community
wants will be available. Youth and adult
activities will be concurrently facilitated during our prime time after school
and evening times of the day. And,
equipment will be safely stored out of the way of activity areas. This will ensure a safer, tidier environment.
We are proud to be able to offer our
stakeholders this essential addition to PAC, knowing it will improve our
current programs and ensure safe and effective classes, activities and special
events far into the future.

and activity information on www.pinedaleaquatic.com and the PAC Facebook page. And, feel free to call at 367-2832 to ask any
