Volunteer Opportunities
We all recognize that our right to vote is also one of our duties as a citizen. But there are other duties that we have as well.
One is to understand how our government works. League of Women Voters Park Rapids Area is encouraging all citizens to take some time to attend local governmental meetings especially before the upcoming elections. People that attend these meetings even a couple of times understand more of what each governmental bodies does. Then when they have a question, request or need, they know which governmental level handles which need. They know what the procedures are to solve that problem.
But it all starts with you making time to attend a few of these meetings. It's easy... find the date and time on the calendar links provided and go. You don't have to say anything, just observe and learn how your government works.
Attend a Park Rapids City Council Meeting, a Library Board Meeting, or a Parks Board Meeting: Use the link below to find time and dates..
Find the dates and times of the meetings here:
The Park Rapids Planning Commission meets on the fourth Monday at 6 PM Meetings are held in the City Hall Council Chamber at 210 First Street West in Park Rapids.
