Hacked account

My Google account was hacked. Wow they were thorough. They sent an email to all my contacts, as best as I can figure, plus my Blogger account here.

City of Norman Parks & Recreation Master Plan

It's a fair sized bit of reading but interesting and well thought-out.

Questions about the Pisces Project

I sent the following email to Ms. Nancy Yoch. She is listed on the "About Us" page at http://piscesproject.org/?page_id=7. I'll let you all know what she replies.

-------
Ms. Yoch,

I read the article in Abner magazine about the Pisces Project.I write a blog at http://http://nextstopverbeck.blogspot.com/. I have a couple of questions please for you about the article.

1) What demonstrable need in the Norman community as a whole would this project address?

2) How does that need compare against other needs the City and/or District have at the current time and short-term future?

3) The article says there are about 125 children at a time being trained in the Sooner Swim Club. Who else, specifically, has been identified that would benefit from the new complex versus using existing facilities in Norman?

Thanks,
Mark
