Vice President: Steve Shannon

Treasurer: Roberta Newton
Roberta started her time with the Penrose Park even before she became an official board member. With the goal of pointing the park in a more positive direction, she was one of the members appointed by the Fremont County Board of Commissioners as part of the new interim board of directors at a special meeting September 16th, 2014. Since then, Roberta has been involved in numerous projects to help improve and upgrade the features that the community park has to offer. In addition to running the park office, she has held several positions including secretary of the board (twice), board president, and now, treasurer. She, with the help of her family, have run bake sales and the concessions stand at many park functions, even contributing with her own delicious culinary creations. She keeps the park rental program running smoothly and is credited with starting the increasingly popular karate program enjoyed by students of all ages.
Secretary: Amy Cekis
