As you may or may not know, one of our longtime Recreation Supervisors, Rachel Mulawa, will be out on an extended leave of absence, which began last week and is scheduled to conclude at the end of January. While this is sad news for all of us either working or participating in programs, it will remain our goal to ensure that the quality programs and services that she provides remain intact.
The Parks and Recreation Department is pleased to announce that we have secured a temporary supervisor to fill the void during her time away. Brendan Shiemke (pronounced Shem-key) is a recent graduate of Central Michigan University with a major in Recreation, Parks, and Leisure Services and a minor in Sport Management. During his time with the department, Brendan will be responsible for Adaptive Recreation, Gymnastics, Little Learners, and a number of other leisure offerings.
If you are participating in one of the programs that he is coordinating or see him in the Community Center, be sure to give him a warm Sterling Heights welcome!
