KEMPER MEMORIAL PARK EVENTS: THE KMPPF PERSPECTIVE
You may have noticed that from
time to time Kemper Memorial Park is made available to
various organizations for gatherings that lend
themselves to its large open space and inviting
environment. These organizations are from our community
and are supported by our community, and may not be
related to those events most familiar to us -
celebrating the service and sacrifice of local veterans,
especially WWII veterans.
As you likely know, Kemper Memorial Park is owned by
the Mamaroneck School District which controls its use by
such organizations. The mission of KMPPF is to protect
the well being of the Park by continuing to enhance it
and continuing to integrate its message of service and
sacrifice into the classroom and into the community. We
are happy to see its productive use by various community
groups so long as the theme of their events do not
conflict with the Park’s primary purpose of celebrating
the contributions of local veterans to their country and
their community. Please note, however, that KMPPF does
not endorse the positions of these organizations or the
content of any events that are permitted by the School
District.
