Announcements and current issues:
•Lake Claire Neighbors “Meet and Greet Potluck”, Oct. 23 at the Cator Woolford Gardens: Pen Sherwood
•Update on the Candler Park Conservancy: Ben Klehr
WE were working on Redoing the main lawn, replace sod, address flooding, add track. Will be allocated 2.8m from bond. Also Adding amphitheater to hill above pool house.
Waiting for city.
Candler Park Decides: vote on how money allocated — conservancy matched money. A lot of these are being implemented now – including operational bathrooms. Pool improvements, new furniture/landscaping. Bike racks, benches, fruit trees.
Refurbishment of the playground. Have raised 750k toward a new playground. Unfortunately costs have gone up. So we are fundraising again. Opportunities: donate on the website. Fall fest fundraisers, Fall Ball Sept 30 Hudson Grille L5P, Fall fest 5k.

Land Trust has hired someone to help us create more programming, all age groups, 2x / month (example, mushroom growing), and social media.

Get in the habit of remembering the land trust!
