Support for Recreation Director salary increase<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
I am passionately writing to<br />
support our beloved Recreation<br />
Director, Mrs. Julie Mallett.<br />
It has come to my attention that<br />
the subject of a salary increase<br />
is being discussed to bring her<br />
to the lower end of what comparable<br />
towns pay their Recreation<br />
Directors. I honestly and truly<br />
support Mrs. Mallett and recommend<br />
she receive a commensurate<br />
Dear Editor,<br />
Recreation Director deserves pay raise<br />
I am writing to show my support<br />
for Julie Mallett, recreation<br />
director of Lynnfield, who is requesting<br />
a pay increase as part of<br />
the next fiscal budget.<br />
Over the last several years,<br />
my family has had the pleasure<br />
of attending and participating in<br />
many events run by the recreation<br />
department. My children<br />
have benefited from the summer<br />
recreation program, the after<br />
increase in financial compensation<br />
to place her in a competitive<br />
area of salary for her peers.<br />
Supporting a salary increase for<br />
Mrs. Mallett recognizes all that<br />
she has done for our wonderful<br />
community without ANY staff.<br />
Mrs. Mallett performs all<br />
functions in the Recreation<br />
Department without an assistant,<br />
an administrative staff person or<br />
a program director. Mrs. Mallett<br />
has solely grown the programming<br />
to reach all ages and all<br />
types of interests.<br />
Our community is quite fortunate<br />
to employ Mrs. Mallett!<br />
Mrs. Mallett loves her position<br />
as Recreation Director and loves<br />
our community dearly and she<br />
deserves to be compensated<br />
appropriately.<br />

Julie and her family at the center<br />

sleigh is perfect for the tree<br />
lighting ceremony or her husband,<br />
Bill, will be checking families<br />
