About 30 Friends attended, all bearing overflowing bowls and platters of homemade salads, main courses, and desserts to share with the other Friends there. Special guests included Supervisors Ruben Barrales and Ted Lempert, County Parks Facilities Director Kendall Simmons, Parks Commissioner Nita Spangler, Ron Weaver (the ranger in charge of Edgewood), and San Mateo County Director of Parks and Recreation Patrick Sanchez. Last year to the day was Director Sanchez's first encounter with the Friends, at the combo victory celebration of the Save Edgewood Park Coalition and kickoff for the Friends of Edgewood Natural Preserve. He came up from southern California a day before officially starting his position as Director to attend our party and get to know us.
