Returned to Council Clerk this 411/) day of ROI�L ' 2012.

To the Town of Agawam,
As a town employee at Perry Lane Summer Camp since 1997, 1 have seen year in and
year out all the positives that camp has to offer the young campers of Agawam.
However, like the rest of life, nothing is perfect, and in this sense, one problem at camp
has bothered me for years, but not having the ability to solve it, I only expressed the
problem to my supervisors. This problem I refer to is the flooding of the pavilion during
rainy days.
This is a completely counter productive point towards having a pavilion. During rainy
days, sometimes torrentially pouring days, we seek shelter in the pavilion and are stuck
there all day. Not a bad place to be, until the runoff from the pool deck, goes racing
down the pathway, down the side gutter that is meant to drain the pool deck, and is
deposited directly smack in the middle of the pavilion floor, only to have more and more
water fill the pavilion.
A mini lakes ensues, at least 1/3 of the pavilion is covered in water. Children's bags,
towels, clothes, and sometimes even food, get soaked. So we put it up on the picnic
tables to prevent them from getting wet, great now where do the campers sit or play
games or draw?
Year in and year out. I don't want to see another rain storm ruin another day at this
great camp of ours.
Through, Organic Change, Inc., a registered 501 (c)(3) organization I am a director for,
we have raised $2500 and are willing to donate this to the Town of Agawam, so the
DPW can buy the supplies and provide the labor that is needed to fix this problem.
I look forward to "dry" rainy days at camp and the campers, above and beyond, will look
forward to it more than anyone else!!!!
Yours Truly,
Daniel Balbony
