Koonse retired, Stone shifted

Larry Koonse retired from his position as director of the recreation department last Friday. He was honored with a cake at the recent POA board meeting.
With a change in administration came a change in department structure. Long time director of the golf department, John Paul, is now the director of the golf/recreation/food services department. His right hand woman, Stephanie Stone will assist him by sitting in as the acting head of the recreation portion of the department. Starting this past Monday, Stone now sits in Koonse's old chair and attends to all of the needs of the recreation department.
The recreation department will benefit from the availability of additional maintenance personnel from the traditional golf department.
Stone attended her first recreation committee meeting last week as she was shadowing Koonse his last week in office. The committee members warmly welcomed the change. John Paul also attended the meeting but said Stone is clearly his ear and voice in the recreation division.
