What is it with park districts ignoring my e-mails? It’s not as if I’m some grammar challenged idiot who is rude and forceful in my e-mails, so a little note to acknowledge me would be appreciated.<\/p>\n
The first e-mail I sent<\/a> was to my local district regarding the loitering I encounter on a daily basis at the park’s fitness path. I’ve heard nothing, and nothing has been done to stop it either.<\/p>\n I sent an e-mail to the park district of the town where I used to live two weeks ago. Take a look at this page<\/a>. Do you really think that photo is a good representation of what is offered at the park? Why in the world would you take a photo of a water park that is only open during the summer during the winter when there’s snow on the ground? It makes no sense. Since I went to this park with the kids recently, I took some photos of it. I took this one<\/a> and cropped out Joe’s daughter before e-mailing it to the park district. I wrote:<\/p>\n My name is Nicole and I’m an amateur photographer and former Elk Grove Village resident. I noticed the photo you have on your website for Fountain Square Park (Re: [website link here]) was taken during the winter in the snow when the park isn’t open. <\/p>\n I’ve attached two photos of the park I took today (one larger, one much smaller for use on the site in case you didn’t want to edit it yourselves). I encourage you to use this updated photo for your site as it more accurately depicts how fun the park is for kids. I don’t ask for anything in return for using the photo other than a credit for taking it.<\/p>\n Thank you and have a great day!<\/i><\/p>\n I only wanted credit for taking the photo, and I don’t think that was a lot to ask. I also don’t think it would have killed them to reply even if it was “thanks for your submission”. People are just rude, and I find it highly offensive particularly when I’m trying to help them. I have to wonder why I even bother when the people who are being paid to care about this kind of stuff don’t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is it with park districts ignoring my e-mails?
