Friends of Rawley Park

Child’s jacket found at Rawley Park. Located in the pavilion. Please claim if it is yours.

Piper and I would like to give a huge shout-out and thank you to Barbara Gehm-Jordan. Piper was stuck on a phase for her Girl Scout Gold Award project and Barb took time out of her busy day and helped her out. They videotaped her explaining how to use all of the exercise equipment at Rawley Park. Over the winter Piper will make it into a fantastic video, so people can learn how to use the equipment properly. I can’t wait to see the final results! Thank you again, Barb!!

Wow! What a day. Charlie, Piper and I would like to send a huge thank you to Bill Stell, Mike Holt and Jackie Wright for showing up today and helping us dig! We were able to set both benches and install the last 2 mile markers. Yay!!

Work Party Sunday! Tomorrow, November 8, 1:00pm: With this amazing weather, we are going to try to set the two benches that have just arrived (funded with a grant from the Hooker Foundation!) and the last two mile marker posts. We hope you can take time out of your day to make a difference and help us dig and pour cement and make our wonderful park even better.
