New P & R Department Manager Develops New Department Focus As of September 2010, Wayne E. Burton has gained the responsibility as Manager of Accomack County’s P&R Department. This is something, as previously stated, he had been looking forward to after nearly 30 years experience with the program. His new strategies for bringing more activities to this program are broader and more inclusive than in prior years. Bringing in other professionals as speakers to provide insights via clinics, lectures and the like will strengthen the Parks and Recreation agenda to inspire local youth and adults. A recent Management Conference held February 28- March 1, 2011 was organized by the Virginia Recreation & Park Society (VRPS) at the Hilton Garden Inn located in Suffolk, Virginia. The current president of the organization is Darrell R. Crittendon, Director of Recreation, Parks and Open Space for the City of Norfolk. The objective was to provide Parks and Rec managers/directors with an opportunity to network and gain additional problem solving techniques.

Please return to this page to see when their presentations will be made so you and/or your child(ren) can be in attendance. Standing Between Two Sparks: Selena Cuffee-Glenn and Lakita Frazier are two women to be respected for their intelligence and achievements. Their interest in community and the needs of local people made networking with Burton a plus because his views of such needs are indeed mutual. ** Click Picture to ZOOM Suffolk City Manager, Selena Cuffee- Glenn (Right) http://www.suffolk.va.us/citygovt/ca/citymgr.html Suffolk P&R Director, Past Pres.

His stated goal was to "AIM HIGH" in everything he did in resurrecting the team from a 69 year absence, and his goal was achieved within two years. During this meeting, Burton was able to chat briefly with Wilder along with others who were also active participants.

He and Burton have a passion for the game and found it easy to exchange war stories about officiating when the crowd might not agree with every call you make.

Gathering and delivering supplies is hard work, but it is also very emotionally satisfying because of the service that is being provided to the local communities. The average number of meals delivered are approximately 21,000 breakfast servings and 27,000 lunches within a 30 day period. Profile designed and written by Ollie K.
