I have been asked by the Board of Directors of the Round Rock Noon
Kiwanis Club to propose that the new •la sc =.e to be constructed at
Old Settlers Parke 3. ted_in_liynorof Virgil S. Rabb
As you know, Virg Rabb was a long time member of the Round Rock
Noon Kiwanis Club and a respected community leader. Virg will be
missed by many people in the community. Be is certainly missed by
our club members.
What you may not know is that Virg was a member of the Community
Service Committee of our club that first proposed that a playscape
accessible to handicapped children be constructed by the city. It
therefore seems fitting that this playscape carry his name as a
lasting memorial to his service in the Round Rock community.
I will be glad to present this proposal to the city council in
person if I need to, but I believe the proposal speaks for itself.
I would be hard pressed to add anything not already known about
this fine man or about his long time service to Round Rock.
Please asked the council to give early consideration to this
proposal. Thank you.
DATE: June 5, 1998
SUBJECT: City Council Meeting - June 11, 1998
ITEM: 13.D.2. Consider a resolution naming the new playscape that will be
constructed at Old Settlers Park at Palm Valley in honor of Virg S.
Rabb. The Noon Kiwanis Club, as the City's partner on this project, has
made this request. Staff Resource Person: Sharon Prete, Parks and
Recreation Director.
The Kiwanis Club of Round Rock is donating $7,500.00 and manpower to purchase and erect a
playscape in Old Settlers Park at Palm Valley. This playscape will be designed specifically to be
handicap accessible. Virgil Rabb played a leadership role in making this project become a reality.
