Thank You Volunteers!
I Love My Park Day, May 5, 2012
Although the time to meet at Knox Farm State Park was around 10:00am, by 9:30am we had a full parking lot! A great job was done by John Glenn and Audrey Petrie, dividing jobs between clean up, raking, staining the picnic benches and trail inspections. We had 106 volunteer forms completed and forwarded to our park manager. Among the volunteers we had the East Aurora Faculty Association working and providing hot dogs and water, the East Aurora Driving Society which concentrated on making sure the trails were safe and ready for riding and walking and AmeriCorps worked extremely hard with tools in hand. It was a terrific day! The I Love My Park Day has resulted in people contacting the Friends of Knox Farm State Park, Inc. asking what else they can do to help our Park. Many of the volunteers upon filling out the Service Agreements inquired about also volunteering for the Buffalo Philharmonic event being held June 27th on the lawn of the main house and at the "Tapas on the Terrace" reception fundraising event beforehand, proceeds which will benefit Knox Farm State Park. It was a great day! Thank you to Susan Collins, Bill Patterson (for the photography) and all who volunteered! Thank you so very much!
