FRIENDS GEARING UP FOR POWERS OF 10 CELEBRATION OCTOBER 19 By Peter Ingram Save the date: Sunday, October 19, 2003, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, at the Day Camp. Last quarter we announced our Powers of 10 Celebration. At that time it was more of a vision, but now we have a plan and I think everyone who comes will find it fun and exciting. On October 19th from 1 to 4 pm, we will be celebrating the tenth anniversary of the founding of the Friends of Edgewood, which coincides with the tenth anniversary of the designation of Edgewood as a Natural Preserve.
Our theme, Powers of 10, will be evident throughout the day. The lawn area of the Day Camp will be transformed into a Main Street of 10 displays and exhibits that you can stroll through. Each of the displays will highlight a different area of activity in which volunteers from the Friends have been involved. As many of you know, over the past decade the Friends have made significant contributions to the preserve, including shielding the land from development, working with the California Native Plant Society to protect rare native plants and remove invasive exotic plants, adopting Highway 280 alongside the preserve, patrolling the trails, and training docents to lead wildflower walks, teach children, and support public outreach. This event is a great opportunity for us to encourage public stewardship of the preserve and show what our organization has done over the last 10 years, what we hope to do in the next 10 years, and how people can get involved. So save the date and bring your friends and family: Sunday, October 19, 2003, 1:00 to 4:00 pm, at the Old Stage Day Camp entrance one mile east of Highway 280 on Edgewood Rd. |

The general public is invited to join us for an ice cream social. The
celebration at Edgewood will be free and open to the public. There will be many
fun things for children to see and do. Adults will be equally delighted by the
many interactive opportunities to appreciate a decade’s worth of accomplishments
and help create a vision for the next ten years.
