KEB chairman Suzy Meibergen says all donations to Keep Enid Beautiful with Parks written on the memo line will be earmarked for city parks only.
“Improved parks improves Enid’s quality of life,” Meibergen said. “Our Board is in agreement that supporting upgrades to our city parks helps fulfill the mission of Keep Enid Beautiful. It’s also a key selling point for our local businesses as they recruit new workers.”
