As most of you know I’m running for NCRD board position this May, and I wanted to give you all a little bit of insight on why! First off I love what the NCRD brings to our community! It’s been such an awesome source of proactiveness for all of us. From senior swim to Easter egg hunts, the NCRD has been a part of all our lives. I grew up learning to swim there, and taking basketball clinics in the gym. My husband and I are now members of the fitness center and our 3 children have all attended (one currently attending) New Discoveries Preschool. Now all three kids take swim lessons at the pool and participate in NCRD sponsored sports. As a board member I would like to see our youth programs strengthened and continue to build what the NCRD already offers the community with working families in mind. I’m also a self employed parent, and would bring a perspective to the board based in fiscal responsibility and self motivation. My family has lived in the Nehalem Valley for four generations now. Fun fact, my grandfather actually went to grade school in that building! Because of these deep ties I like to think I understand very well what the goals and aspirations are of the people who live here. North county has an amazing tradition of looking out for one another, and it’s what built the NCRD! If I’m elected as board member my goal will be to continue that tradition! If you have any questions please feel free to email me at elaskey86@gmail.com
