Park Historian: John Feld PAC has formed a sub-committee to gather information on the Park’s history.

Janie Klimes and Anne Lakota will give John their digital copies of the HOL minutes.
HOL Donations: John Feld and Tara Plocher We will hold our HOL Donations Drive in September.

Erma Wheatley has identified a possible date, the afternoon of Sunday, April 27. The event would have to be organized and put on by the artists. HOL is willing to donate up to $400 for it.
