One of the first contributors to
the $30 million funding drive of
the Plymouth Arts and
Recreation Complex (PARC) was
the
Margaret
Dunning
Foundation.
The fund raising drive is an
effort, officials said, to preserve
and adaptively re-purpose the
historic former Plymouth
High/Central Middle School and
add a new Performing Arts
Center. Approximately half of the
funding is needed for the existing
facility and site infrastructure at
the 100-year-old building, and
half is for the Performing Arts
Center, officials said.
Officials from the Margaret
Dunning Foundation have
approved the contribution of
$125,000 to support the renova-
tion and modernization of the
original pool built in 1952. The
pool, pumps, filters, valves and
plumbing have served tens of
thousands of swimmers since
installed in the building.
“After 65 years of continuous
use, the mechanicals need to be
replaced with more reliable
state-of-the-art equipment,” said
Don Soenen, president of PARC.
“The Margaret Dunning
Foundation grant will allow
PARC to provide safe and reli-
able aquatics programs for the
Greater Plymouth Community for
decades.”
The need for the funding, and
the proposed uses, will be
explained during a community
forumplanned for 7 p.m. Jan. 8 at
the Penn Theatre in downtown
Plymouth, officials said.
According to Soenen, presi-
dent of PARC, the facility has
grown quickly, and currently has
27 arts, recreation, and education
tenants occupying the former
school, plus good utilization of
the pool, gym, small theatres,
football field, and tennis courts.
PARC is a 501(c)3 public chari-
ty, leading the effort to convert
the
historic
Plymouth
High/Central Middle School and
the 16.6 acres on which it stands,
into an arts, education and recre-
ation complex.
“In the recently completed
Plymouth community recreation
survey, PARC achieved unprece-
dentedly strong results for such
an organization so early in its
existence, with close to 90 per-
cent awareness among combined
township and city residents, and
with 85 percent of those residents
expressing that PARC adds value
to the community,” Soenen said
in a prepared statement.
“PARC, a non-profit organiza-
tion, will raise as much as possi-
ble through charitable donations
from individuals, foundations,
and companies,” Soenen added.
He said that naming and recogni-
tion opportunities associated
with capital projects will be avail-
able.
Potential donors can initiate a
pledge or learn more by contact-
ing Soenen at (dsoenen@sensors-
inc.com).
“With what has already been
accomplished and is happening
at Central Middle, plus what is
attainable with the community's
support, the Plymouth Arts and
Recreation Complex can become
an incredible value-added asset
for us all, with scope and quality
that is unprecedented and supe-
rior to anything in this region,”
said Mark and Patty Malcolm,
who are major contributors and
donors at the facility, in a pre-
pared statement.
Soenen said that he and other
PARC officials would update the
community on the plans and
respond to residents' questions at
the January community forum.
The gift from the Margaret
Dunning Foundation was one of
the first pledges in the funding
effort. The foundation was found-
edbyMs. Dunning in 1997.
A well-known and beloved
philanthropist in the community;
she was born in 1910 in Redford
Township, and moved with her
mother to Plymouth in the 1920s.
During her lifetime, Ms. Dunning
was a successful business woman
and civic booster. She was a
major supporter of many
Plymouth nonprofits, including
the Plymouth District Library
and the Plymouth Historical
Society.
Ms. Dunning died in 2013 at
the age of 104. Her estate provid-
ed additional funding for the
Margaret Dunning Foundation,
which continues to support her
charitable interests and legacy.

Huron Valley Ambulance (HVA) pro-
vides Advanced Life Support and Critical
CareEmergencyMedical Transport in the
Plymouth Community. Vice President for
Eastern Operations Andy Savage
announced that the HVA Paramedic of
the Year is Josh Cousino. Cousino started
his career with HVA in 2010 and has
advanced to become a Critical Care
Paramedic assigned to the Mobile
Intensive Care Unit (MICU) based in
Plymouth.
Recently, he responded to a call and
noted that the patient was in need of a

the Year is Chris Helinski. Helinski, who
is also the Department of Municipal
Services (DMS) Chief of Operations, has
been a firefighter since 2012.
Fire Chief Steve Ott said Helinski is,
“An idea guy, always thinking and sharing
those thoughts.” Recently, Helinski under-
took a project to build a number of minia-
ture houses which the department uses to
train staff about fire behavior and how the
creation of flow paths in a structure fire
can compromise safety if not controlled.

one of several annual special programs of
the Rotary Club of Plymouth. The club

Barbeque during the Plymouth Fall
Festival.
