DOCENT POST-SEASON PARTY PLANNED By Carolyn Strange To celebrate the conclusion of another successful wildflower walks season, all active (and temporarily inactive) docents and docent "alums" are invited to a post-season party on Saturday, June 26, 10am - 1pm, at Edgewood's picnic area. The gathering will be both fun and functional, social as well as strategic. Of course it's an opportunity for docents to meet, share stories, and learn from each other. This year especially, because the walks program experimented with new hikes and trailheads, docents need to gather and share experiences, perspectives and feedback that will be critical in planning next year's walks. Our docents, who provide a major interface with the public, are seen as experts on the Preserve. And rightly so. This gathering also offers a good opportunity for docents to learn about one of the next big milestones in Edgewood's history—the planned interpretive center. We'll tour the site, brainstorm uses for the new Center, and discuss how to increase public awareness and support, not just for the Center, but ultimately for Edgewood. Lunch and refreshments will be provided, thanks to a San Mateo County Parks and Recreation Foundation grant. |
