COME! June 24th
Opportunity! Sign Location Party on Saturday 9 a.m. Plan A: walk to the
proposed post locations at the 10 most critical intersections, check the
diagram and place a marker stake where each goes. Plan B: spread chips and
trim multi-floral rose. The signs are a big project! With long-lasting
results! Sorely needed! Does anyone have a router or router skill that
can help with these signs for when the arrows are all verified and for
making the Friends' sign (see below)? We could use maybe a couple people with
them once the project gets in full swing. We could supply bits (what type?)
Friends' House needs sign
Let's identify the house so that people can *find* meetings. Should we
hang a (routed) sign on the mailbox or the house or both? Take a look and
vote.
I offer scraps of pressure-treated 1x6 from my neighbor's new deck that
might be suitable, unless some other type of wood would be best?
Kiosk
How can we set up for park visitor registration at the kiosk at the parking
lot on Skippack Creek Rd? Ideas for information to post/distribute were:
Park maps, hinged registration book like at other Parks, Friends of
Evansburg brochures, web address, posters on sharing trails, fishing in
Skippack Creek, event announcements. Does anyone have Plexiglas scraps
that could be used to make brochure holders?
Awareness
Ways to increase awareness of community opportunities at Evansburg State
Park: outreach to 4-H Clubs, Scout troops, Fellowship groups; business
cards, call high school teachers re: supervision of outlined community
service projects. Does anyone have any design ideas or materials and/or
time for making cards? Other ideas: local-only telephone and message
service for volunteer project coordination at the Friends' House,
Hiker-Biker Rid-a-thon, Orienteering, garden club adoptions of Visitor
Center (and/or Friends' House)
Sept. 10 fund-raising event
Sebastian Riding Associates and The Friends are considering a joint
walk/ride/bike -a-thon in Evansburg Park. This fund-raiser would allow a
diverse group of park users to get together and enjoy the trails! Proceeds
would be split by Sebastian Riding Associates (a non-profit therapeutic
riding facility in Evansburg) and FOE. The Friends briefly discussed it at
the meeting and agreed it was a great idea. We are hoping Dave Ryan could
help with the bike trail since he had proposed something like this last
year.
Web Site
Bring ideas for links to other sites. There are 3 visitors/day.
Erosion and Multiflora rose
Let's rank the priorities of the areas. Also be thinking of accessible
places near *them* to deposit wood chips for work days when we get lots of
people out armed with tools to spread the chips.
