Seeking Chairs for "Friends of Palisades Park"

March, 2000 -- After 5-plus years of chairing “Friends of Palisades Park,” (FPP) the two co-chairs, Barbara Power and Cary Ridder, are ready to retire, in a big way!
If you are interested in doing something for the community that is very positive and upbeat, consider chairing Friends of Palisades Park.
Although the Park was renovated by the neighborhood five years ago, FPP remains involved with improvement and use issues, as well as staging community cleanup days. The group has a great track record so people are very willing to help work not only on Palisades Recreation Center and Park, but also on the W Street park and the Carolina Place park, two other important play areas in our neighborhood.
If you have ideas about how Palisades Park can be further improved, here’s an opportunity to make it happen!
Please call Barb at 244-9152 or Cary at 364-5795 if you are interested in running this group.
