general information
The VPRD welcomes two new
Recreation Managers to our staff!
Aaron Messenger
Hello, I am the new Recreation Program
Manager - Programming for the City of
Vandalia. Although not born in Ohio, I
have lived in Vandalia for most of my
life and went through the school system
here as well, from Helke Elementary all
the way through Butler High School. I
played basketball throughout my high
school years, graduated from Butler
High School in 2014 and received a
Bachelor’s degree in Recreation Man-
agement from Ohio University in 2018.
My life motto is, “Recreation for All”. I believe that recreation is essential
and beneficial for people to grow and succeed as human beings. I believe
that all people, no matter what physical, mental, medical or financial
differences they may have, deserve the opportunity to recreate and
participate in programs that they love. I grew up participating in many of
the programs that were provided by the Vandalia Recreation Center and
saw myself one day being able to provide the same fun experience back
to the community.
If you have any questions, concerns or thoughts about programming,
please call 415-2334 or email me at amessenger@vandaliaohio.org.
Thank you!
John Myers
Hi Vandalia! I am the new Youth and
Adult Athletic Manager for the City
of Vandalia. Born and raised here in
Vandalia, I grew up playing sports at the
Vandalia Recreation Center and then
went on to play school sports within
the Vandalia-Butler City School District;
playing basketball, golf and baseball
before graduating in 2013. I earned my
Bachelor’s degree in Social Science
Education from Wright State Univer-
sity. I have been working at our Rec
Center since 2014 where my passion for Parks & Recreation has grown
tremendously.
I am very excited to take on and expand a position that currently provides
top-notch athletic programing for our community. Offering fun, educational
and safe opportunities is my top objective. If you have thoughts about cur-
rent or future athletic programming, I would love to hear from you! Please
do not hesitate to call 415-2333 or email jmyers@vandaliaohio.org.
