Please consider becoming a board member. Elections will be in May.

Board meeting on Thursday-
Upcoming board elections in May…there will be seats to fill, so please run.  To be eligible, you must have attended and signed into a meeting in the last 12 months.  The board meeting on April 2 counts as a possible eligibility meeting, so please tune in via Google Meet video/phone and join us.

Other topics we’ll cover

  • vetting park and natural resource priorities for NPIC
  • signing up for SCCO tabling time at the May 2 Wildflower festival
  • park game nights this year?  Want to host one?
  • update on concert in the park for August
  • choosing a SCCO presentation to organize – we want to build capacity, which means sharing responsibility so Kate will no longer be arranging all the general meeting presentations.  Each board member will need to take on one yearly project. (Kate will help direct who to reach out to, and support when needed)

Put May 2nd on your calendar for the 15th Annual Wildflower Presentation.
