Recreation Department

The Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission represents the first merged recreation department in the state of North Carolina.

The majority of funding is provided by the Towns of Madison and Mayodan. Other sources of revenue include program fees, sponsors and donations. Another significant source of funding is through the United Way of Rockingham County. The Madison-Mayodan Recreation Commission is proud to have been a United Way Agency since it began in 1983.

The department is headed by a commission of six people chosen by the town boards: three appointees from Madison and three appointees from Mayodan. Those currently serving the commission are:

Chairman Gay Welch(Madison)

Vice Chair Edna Martin (Mayodan)

Secretary Ron Price (Madison)

Treasurer John Collins (Madison)

Athletic Commissioner Shirley Boles (Mayodan)
