June 20 - A
In past Director’s notes I have th
finished with the phrase “Re-
member to Feel Great RECRE-
ATE.” Well it is time for me to
heed my own advice as I will be
retiring at the Parks Recreation/
Youth Services Director on Sep-
Monday - Friday Sessions
tember 9. I have been blessed and
June 20st - August 26th
appreciative of the opportunity
to serve in this position for the
past 17 ½ years. East Lyme will
forever have a lasting place in my
David M. Putnam
heart. Serving as the Director in
the community where I was raised and will continue to reside
has truly been a pleasure.
I have had the privilege of working with dedicated and enthusi-
astic staff who remain committed to providing unique program
opportunities and quality parks. I can’t thank each of them
enough for all their hard work. A huge thanks to the Parks and
Recreation and Youth Services Commissions for your trust and
guidance. I also had the pleasure of working with 5 (five) dif-
ferent First Selectmen all who supported the efforts of the de-
partment and cared deeply about our community. Thank you.
Finally, I would like to thank the East Lyme Community, our
program participants and park patrons for making every day
an adventure. No two days were ever the same. I might be just
a little biased, but I believe we have some of the nicest parks
and amenities in New England the recreation areas make East
Lyme a special place to work, live and play.
It is now time for me to feel great and RECREATE.
All the best,
David Putnam, Director
