FRIENDS RECEIVE $10,000 REI GRANT

By Peter Ingram

As we go to press, Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) has notified the Friends that we have been selected to receive a $10,000 grant, to go toward the stewardship of Edgewood Park & Natural Preserve. In an effort to help support stewardship of local parks, REI is dedicating $1 million to 100 parks across the country. In partnership with nonprofit organizations like Friends of Edgewood, these funds are being dedicated to maintaining, preserving and caring for wonderful outdoor resources like Edgewood, for everyone to enjoy and experience.

Within the next few weeks, the Friends will be contacted by the San Carlos REI store, to set up a date to receive the check. In the meantime, REI would like us to begin thinking about the donation and working with Parks staff to determine how the money will be used. By April 7th, we will need to submit a project description.

We are excited about this generous donation and the possibilities it will create for improving Edgewood, providing volunteer opportunities, and enhancing visitor experiences. If you have suggestions, please contact us at info01 @ this domain or leave a voice message at (866)GO-EDGEWOOD, (866) 463-343-9663.
