Why is Eunice on the Rock Island Park Foundation? 

​

I joined the Parks & Rec. Foundation because parks have always been a meaningful part of my life. Whether it’s walking to clear my mind or simply enjoying the beauty of nature, I’ve come to see parks as essential to our individual well-being and community spirit. Being part of the Foundation gives me the chance to give back to the spaces that give so much to all of us.
