President’s Message

To the Members:

 Don’t forget to Spring your clocks forward on March 9.  It will be nice to have more light at the end of the day!

 The Farm Park Advisory Committee meetings are held once a Quarter and are open to the public.  This is a good time to voice your opinions regarding the Farm Park.  The next one will be held on Friday, April 25 at 1 PM at the Norristown Farm Park Headquarters.  They usually last about an hour.  Read about the January 25 meeting on p.10.  New appointments have been made as part of the Strategic Reorganization of the Montco Parks and Heritage Services.  Congratulations to Ken Shellenberger, our new Park Supervisor and to Will Brobst, the new Regional Manager III, who will oversee the Farm Park and other sites.  Please read about all the new appointees on pp. 10-11.

 The new Montco Park and Heritage Services Planning Chief, Clare Adams, is reviewing park Master Plans.  As we find out more, we will keep you updated through our Website.  This continues to be a “hot” topic for us, as I know it is for you.

 Two of our FPPA Board Members, Chas Wood and Jessica Dimuzio, have received awards – read about them on pages 6 and 7.

 The Child Advocacy Center will be located in an old farm house on the edge of NFP – see p.4.

 Take care and see you soon in OUR PARK!

 Tina Howell, 

President
