At our meeting on Wednesday, March 23, we were happy to welcome Sandy Green and Robyn Underwood from the Kutztown Community Partnership!
Sandy Green, former Kutztown mayor for 12 years and current community liaison for KCP, discussed many exciting projects that KCP is undertaking right now, including the Kutztown Hometown Hero initiative (to which the club has given a donation) and the Keith Haring Exercise Park, of which the club was anxious to gather more information. Kutztown University in partnership with KCP is bringing this interactive fitness park to the Kutztown community. The Keith Haring Outdoor Fitness Court will be part art gallery, part outdoor gym and a point of pride for Kutztown." The park is set to be ready in the fall of 2022 and will feature Haring's iconic dancing figures designs. Please see the KU news release for more information.
