SANDWICH — The Sandwich Recreation Committee discussed expanding its membership and reviewed facility updates. The six-member committee, chaired by Kim Rutty, seeks three additional members after two recruitment candidates failed to attend the meeting; the group plans to advertise openings on town social media. Director Tricia MacDonald reported ongoing improvements including WiFi coverage and camera monitoring at the skate park courts, new picnic tables at the Adventure Playground, and drainage work at Oak Crest Courts.
The department faces staffing challenges at the Hoxie House Museum, which requires two staff members at all times but may need to close if adequate staffing is not located by next season. Beaches also struggle to find coverage for the final two weeks and are exploring weekend-only service or credit-card-only access options.
