History:

1968

General formation of the G.R.W.B.P.R.C. - Greater-Romeo-Washington-Bruce Parks & Recreation Commission initiated by the Village of Romeo (Merlin Kerr, John Schueler, Bob Jones, Elaine Campbell, R.J Brainard). Regional recreation group formed basically for purposes of securing facility development funds from the State of Michigan recreation bond project for creation of additional recreation facilities in the Romeo District.

1968-1970

Washington Township, Bruce Township, and Romeo Community Schools approached for assistance and support in securing and administering approved bond grant monies.

1970-1971

G.R.W.B.P.R.C. formalized to include village, townships and school district. Begins to meet with basic regularity. Seeks funding support from governmental entities for dispersal to community agencies to run programs.
