However, those same commissioners heading up several departments and projects can direct and work along side volunteers to accomplish almost anything we put our minds to. Park Friends helps individuals to get involved where most excited or committed. Likewise, many will donate tools, labor, equipment and resources to an equipment installation while others will volunteer their time at home making sandwiches and treats to feed the crews. Both are vitally important in helping us accomplish our goals. Park Friends taps into the valuable skill set of many talented people.
Several projects require expertise in one field or another.
As a Park Friend you can lend those talents to a community-based project. For instance, we have been the recipients of advice and help from an expert in the fencing industry, improving the safety of the Pump House ball field. We ve benefited from bobcat operators, contractors, graphic artists, landscapers and electricians, to name a few. This past week I was thrilled to receive a Park Friends application from new Park Partners volunteering to help with mailings. All Park Friends and their families are invited to our Associates Picnic held at Pump House Park this October.
