CHAIR OF FRIENDS REPORT TO PARKS BOARD
Submitted by Leah Ragiel
April 6, 2011
• So far, PLB 2011 has netted just over $154K and we still have some outstanding receivables
and sociables. A successful, second annual Crawfish Boil fundraiser was held this weekend at
the home of advisory board members, Dana and Vicki Grams. Thanks to those that attended.
The Onco de Mama sociable will be in May.
The date for Fathers and Flashlights has been set for October 1~`. Our three co-chairs,
Amanda McGee, Maggie Garza and Sara Edgeomb, have already formed a committee and are
preparing to send out underwriting letters in May.
Adrienne's term is up this summer and she will not be running the guild for a third year, so
we are seeking a guild chair and welcome suggestions.
• Friends has been asked by our council liaison, George Boehme, to look at getting an
underwriter for the summer concert series and we are undertaking the project. We will seek
an underwriter for 2012 (and possible 2011) if we can turn it around that quickly.
Last summer Friends embarked on a study of how to recognize our donors (past, present and
future). The project has been led by Friends Board member, Steve Primrose. Friends is
seeking City Council approval to use a wall in the Rec Center for our Donor Recognition wall.
Steve is here tonight to present an overview of the project and we hope to have your
support.
