Recreation Administration Recreation Commission Mission Statement The Recreation Commission is committed to providing opportunities and experiences that enhance the quality of life for residents of all ages in Amenia.  We attempt to accomplish this through a diversity of recreational, social and educational programs, services, events and facilities that meet both the individual and community needs. The Amenia Recreation Commission was formed on May 3, 2005.  It is made up of volunteers, appointed by the Town Board, who have a desire to help sustain and improve all recreational offerings.  The Commission governs all Town Recreation activities, including but not limited to: Program Administration (Maintenance, Creation or Elimination) Planning Rec Master Plan Publicity (Flyers, TV, Internet, Newspaper, Schools, etc.) Questions, suggestions and concerns Members Name Title e-mail Phone Term End Mike Murane Chairman murdog1961@aol.com (845) 418-0841 03/2012 Charlene Pollinger Secretary pollinger3@optonline.net (845) 373-9650 03/2018 Tom Werner Member wtw376@cs.com (845) 877-1329 03/2013 Christine Ford Member   12/2012 Chris Klingner Member cklingner73@hotmail.com (845) 789-1032 03/2014 Linda Gregory Member lindagregory@optonline.net (845) 373-9037 03/2015 Evelyn O'Connell Treasurer eoconnell9@optonline.net (845) 373-9693 03/2016 To find out about upcoming Commission meetings check the Town Calendar.  For your convenience minutes from previous meetings are posted on this website.
