Bob Richardson Recognized for Service to Recreation and Parks Board

The Board Also Recognized Richardson and Local Youth for Punt, Pass and Kick Program

The Board of County Commissioners, the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Recreation and Parks Board are pleased to congratulate Mr. Robert Richardson for nearly eight years of dedicated service on the R&P Board.  He served from March 2002 through December 2009.  The R&P Board formally thanked Bob during the Board meeting of January 5, 2010 and presented him with a plaque to commemorate the occasion.

The Department also thanked Bob for his assistance with the Punt, Pass and Kick program. This year’s local competition was held in September at Fifth District Park, located on Route 6, New Market Turner Road in Charlotte Hall.   Local first place winners advanced to the Sectional Competition which was held in November. 

Sectional winners were invited to compete in the Redskins Team Championship held at FedEx Field in Prince George’s County on December 6, 2009.  Our sectional winners were: Sarah Carty, Chris Palmer, Ryan Bowles, Kaitlyn Beasley-Polko and Makayla Kuhnow.

The top four Team Championship scorers from all the first place finalists in each age group (from all over the country) will now advance to the National Finals.  These winners and their families will travel to the Finals at an NFL playoff game in January.

Millions of kids in the U.S. and Canada have joined in the fun of the NFL Punt, Pass & Kick competition since it started in the 1960s.  Any boy or girl 8 to 15 years old can compete for a chance at becoming a national champ. It's all free!
