ANNUAL MEETING BEST EVER This year’s annual meeting attracted over 50 members and guests, who were treated to friendly discussion, a tasty lunch, and an entertaining and informative program.
President Peter Ingram emceed the event, offering a review of activities and accomplishments during 2006. We were thrilled to welcome Ranger Ricardo Trejo back to Edgewood. Ricardo has been ill for quite a while, but he looked terrific and we’re anxious to see him return to duty in 2007. A special highlight was an update from Stuart Weiss on the butterfly restoration project (see article page 1), including a sneak preview of the beautiful brochure under development. For the 12th year in a row, the Friends of Edgewood presented the coveted Best Friend award. This year it went to Craig Cummings for his valuable contributions to the Photos website. Craig carefully and painstakingly documented over 7,000 locations of plants at Edgewood, and entered their locations into the Photos website at http://photos.friendsofedgewood.org. The “business” part of the meeting was the election of three Directors to serve 2-year terms starting January 2007. Susan Crocker, Peter Ingram, and Bill Korbholz were elected, and they will join current Directors Herb Fischgrund, Yvette Pirie, and Michael Tu, who are completing the final year of their terms. |
