However, Citizens, along with many of our partners, contributed $100,000 in donated materials and labor to refurbish the Pool House at Frederick Douglass Park.   Sharing the Dream partners this year were Mitsch Design, Peine Engineering, Powers & Sons Construction Company, Connor Fine Painting, Denney Companies, A.G. Maas, SSI Services, LLC, Miller Pipeline, Eubanks Fencing, SCI, Inc., BrightView, Greene’s Auto & Truck Service, Mainscape, PFM Car & Truck Care Center, McGath Concrete, Indy Excavating and Utilities, Refined Restoration, Nishida, Herman & Kettles Properties, Pulse Electric, A All Star Garage Doors, and General Communications Inc.   Projects included installing a security camera system, new flooring, high-efficiency lighting, lockers and shower curtains; painting (including murals); adding new storage rooms; updating the concession stand, appliances, and furniture; removing asbestos; repairing the exhaust system; replacing the water heater; adding ADA access; and more. These renovations were part of a three-year commitment Citizens made to Frederick Douglass Park.  This is the 13th year of Sharing the Dream, for which we partner with the Parks Alliance of Indianapolis (formerly Indy Parks Foundation) and Indy Parks to refurbish a facility in need, to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Citizens President & CEO **Jeffrey Harrison** toured the facility with Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. They are both pictured above with Crit Crabtree, Citizens' Manager of Facilities, and Linda Broadfoot, Indy Parks and Recreation Director.   **Centennial Celebration**  Citizens announced on MLK Day that we will be the Presenting Sponsor of the Frederick Douglass Park Centennial Celebration. On July 7, 2021, the City of Indianapolis will kick off a multi-day celebration commemorating the 100-year anniversary of Frederick Douglass Park.   Harrison said, “We are proud to continue our commitment to Indy Parks, and Frederick Douglass Park in particular, by serving as the Presenting  Sponsor of this summer’s centennial celebration.”  As Indy Parks joins Citizens and the Parks Alliance to plan activities and special events on or around July 7, they want to hear from you. To contribute your celebration ideas, park photos, testimonials or other forms of support, please email [IndyParksCS@indy.gov](mailto:IndyParksCS@indy.gov) or call 317-327-PARK.  Citizens is currently working to coordinate an outdoor volunteer event for the summer to beautify the grounds of the park, if pandemic safety precautions allow.  ### Current Articles ### Recent Issues - [November 2019 (23)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/11) - [November 2018 (21)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2018/11) - [January 2021 (21)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/01) - [October 2021 (21)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/10) - [February 2020 (20)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/02) - [December 2021 (20)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/12) - [October 2018 (19)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2018/10) - [January 2019 (19)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/01) - [June 2020 (19)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/06) - [August 2019 (18)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/08) - [October 2019 (18)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/10) - [April 2020 (18)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/04) - [September 2022 (18)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2022/09) - [July 2019 (17)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/07) - [July 2020 (17)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/07) - [June 2021 (17)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/06) - [April 2019 (16)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/04) - [January 2020 (16)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/01) - [October 2020 (16)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/10) - [December 2020 (16)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/12) - [April 2021 (16)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/04) - [July 2021 (16)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/07) - [September 2020 (15)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2020/09) - [March 2021 (15)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/03) - [June 2022 (15)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2022/06) - [February 2019 (14)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/02) - [May 2019 (14)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2019/05) - [May 2022 (14)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2022/05) - [July 2022 (14)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2022/07) - [October 2023 (13)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2023/10) - [September 2021 (12)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2021/09) - [March 2023 (12)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2023/03) - [May 2023 (12)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2023/05) - [June 2023 (12)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2023/06) - [February 2022 (11)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2022/02) - [August 2018 (10)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2018/08) - [August 2023 (10)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2023/08) - [March 2022 (9)](https://blog.citizensenergygroup.com/engauge/archive/2022/03) [![PDF Archives](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2545024/33b9e93c-8f43-4101-9b48-7e78154731f5.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2545024/33b9e93c-8f43-4101-9b48-7e78154731f5) **Engauge** is published by Citizens Energy Group, Corporate Affairs Department, under the direction of Shannon Stahley, Director of Corporate and Public Affairs.
