& COMMUNITY NEWS

22nd Annual Nick Ressler Blood Drive

Saturday, September 16th

8am-1:30pm 

It began with community — and 22 years later community is what sustains the annual Nick Ressler Blood Drive. When 14 year old Concord resident, Nick Ressler, became critically ill in 2001, blood transfusions became essential in affording Nick the opportunity to continue to be a kid in our community — attending school, hanging out with friends and family, and extending his life for several months. In 2001, 300 donors from rolled up their sleeves for Nick and the community has continued to roll up their sleeves each year for all the other Nicks who now need the precious gift of blood.

In over two decades since the first Nick Ressler Blood Drive — over 3200 individuals have been helped by the blood donated at the Nick Ressler Blood Drives. Please become part of this ongoing Concord community tradition on Saturday, September 16 when the Mass General Blood Mobile will be at the Beede Swim and Fitness Center from 8 am — 1:30 pm for the 22nd Annual Nick Ressler Blood Drive.

Sign up for a convenient time to donate at: https://blooddonor.massgeneral.org/donor/schedules/drive_schedule/5894

One Community - One goal!

Members and guests are are asked to reserve this area for event parking only. Additionally the road between the high school and Beede will be “one-way” only, entering from Walden Street and exiting at Thoreau Street.

Concord Recreation Department is proud to highlight

Employees of the Month for August!

Concord Recreation would like to give thanks to two amazing seasonal employees who brought energy and joy to their job each day making this summer a true success in their respective program areas!

 Lisle Allen, White Pond Head Lifeguard. Lisle was always a team player, showing initiative to pick up shifts, staying late when the beach was busy, and coming in early when necessary all while having a smile on her face and a positive attitude. She was a role model for all staff at White Pond, always leading by example and keeping a watchful eye on our patrons. Lisle and our team of lifeguards supported over 2,000 visitors at the pond this summer. A collegiate swimmer for Bowdoin College, we’ve been lucky to have Lisle working for Concord Recreation for 3+ summers.

Jenna Rigon, Camp Three Rivers Director. Jenna was a role model for over 50 staff that supported hundreds of students, entering grades K-10, each week. In this capacity, Jenna coordinated all parts of the camp experience from staff training to field trips. This was Jenna’s first summer as a Camp Director and she truly thrived! Jenna and her team of counselors supported over 600 individual campers this summer, registering for over 2,000 camper weeks. Jenna just finished her degree in School Counseling, a role that she will step into in the near future.
