I might add, at this point, that the creation of an
assistant's position for this office was deeply
appreciated by myself. Rolande Ross proved to be
invaluable. She handled the public graciously and
competently and worked hours well beyond her particular
contract. I can only hope that the position will be
reactivated for the 1986 coordinator knowing how much I
came to rely on Ms. Ross for a myriad of
responsibilities. '

Final Comments

In my 1984 report I stressed that "somewhere, somehow,
Council must debate the intrinsic value of a May Day Festival
and come to realize what exactly it represents to
thecommunity". The debate may be ongoing, but I congratulate
1985 Committee for their support and interest. 7

Kudos

Once again I feel compelled to end a May Day report
commenting on the cooperation given this office by the Parks
and Recreation Branch staff members. The enthusiasm displayed
by pertinent city employees was critical to the sense of
Creating a community project. Quite simply put it was a team
effort and for that sense of camaraderie I will always be
grateful. Thank you for: yeur confidence and the freedom you
gave me to function se comfortably. :
