Ringgold park news

We've received the following event notifications from the Friends of Ringgold Park.


Spring Clean-up: Sunday, April 1, from 11:00 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tools and refreshments will be provided. Come tidy the park with us to prepare for our busy season! Caroline Foscato will be overseeing this cleanup - please contact her at cfoscato@yahoo.com for more information. Raindate: Saturday, April 7, from 11 to 2 p.m.

Spring Egg Hunt: Join us on Sunday, April 8th at 10 a.m. for the annual Egg Hunt! Kids and egg hunters of all ages welcome!  Coffee and refreshments will be served.   If you are interested in helping with this event, we need volunteers for the following:

    Egg Hiding (9 a.m. on Sunday)
    Refreshments
    Clean Up


If you can assist us with this fun event, please call or e-mail us at ringgoldpark@verizon.net. We are also collecting money to cover the costs for family events such as this and Halloween.  If you can help contribute to this very worthy cause, it would be very much appreciated; there will be a box at the  clean-up and egg hunt  for  your tax-deductible donations.   If you would prefer to write a check, it can made out to "The Friends of Ringgold Park, Inc."

Community Meeting to discuss 2007 Planting Plan: Friends, neighbors, and supporters are invited to review the planting plan prepared for us by landscape designer Doug Fitzgerald of Community Outreach Group design firm. Doug will be on hand to answer questions on April 29th, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m., location TBD. We are especially interested in feedback from abutters of the park, so please come to see our exciting plan to beautify Ringgold Park this year!

Ringgold Park Spring Fundraiser:  Please note that we have a revised "Save the Date"!  We are moving the Spring get-together and fundraiser from April 3rd to the evening of Wednesday, May 23, to give us more time to plan this wonderful event, which we hope will become a festive annual tradition.  Please save the date and we will be sending out more information shortly.
Grant Applications:  Lastly, thank you to all who provided letters of support for our 2007 Small Changes grant application for our beautification project. It's not too late - additional letters should be sent to the City of Boston Parks and Recreation Department, 1010 Massachusetts Avenue, Boston, MA 02118, Attn: Small Changes Grant Program, by April 2.
