The Lamar County Recreation Department Parents Association will hold its fall meeting Tuesday night at seven o’clock at the recreation department’s gymnasium on Academy Drive. The parents association will be selecting officers and giving a general overview of the past year’s progress. Association spokesperson Becky Patterson says, “It is very important that we get as many parents involved as possible giving the current situation with funding”. Recreation funding for baseball, softball and T-ball has been cut from the pending 2012 county budget. Funding for these programs will go into the hands of the association, based on the way Pike County runs its parks and recreation authority. As a result, registration fees will soar as parents bear the entire cost of these programs.
