Thanks Tony. Please post the time, date, and location of the next "large
events committee" meeting and the "planning committee" for the north park
redesign.
Since UCD took over, I thought we were unwelcome other than dues day or
clean-up day. Now that I know you're so welcoming, I feel embarrassed for
not showing up to give the report identifying park stakeholders which the
members asked for in April 2004. Just post the meeting info because others
might wish to come.
We've got a whole lot of FOCP reform work we need to begin during these
winter months. You deserve a rest.
Happy to volunteer,
Glenn

I don't know of any and none have been promulgated to Friends of Clark Park
Members.
That doesn't mean nothing is scheduled. It's a very busy park -- the
busiest Rec park in Philadelphia -- in which people are constantly trying
to do all sorts of things, and FoCP volunteers are constantly trying to
play catch-up with other folks' plans. But no one has told us of any
projects they had in mind.
I can't imagine what useful work you could do /inside the park/ in
mid-January either. This is the season for researching and planning.
All true park-lovers are busy now on the devilishly-difficult redesign of
the beloved but deteriorated North Park, where the soil has been so
pounded by overuse that grass can't grow anymore, and the sidewalks have
crumbled so terribly that cerebral-palsied kids at the HMS School next
door can't use the park in their wheelchairs. It's a shame and a disgrace.
Or they're working to schedule the Large Events for the peak season of
2008 so that all organizers get to express themselves without abusing the
neighbors or tripping over each other.
That's what we do in midwinter, Dan. Is there a task you would like to
help on? Everyone is always welcome to help in the park.

Does anyone have up to date info on family-friendly service projects in
Clark
Park on MLK Day?
