Friends of RHP projects 2024
Sarturday, May 4th assisted at RJRD's Second Annual Goat Derby
We provided a $250 sponsorship of the event, rented vendor table space, gave tours of Amity House to our major donors (that limitation was set by the park),designed and organized a craft activity for kids: decorating and wearing their own derby hats. Sandy Norris donated the hats and decided to give them away for free. It was a HUGE hit for the 76 lucky kids who recieved and proudly wore their hats at the event.

Saturday, May 4th Migratory Bird Hike
Thank you Betty, Chris, Nancy, Clive, Corey for making the bird hikes a success. We had 21 for the first and 23 people the second hike. Saw or should I say "heard" many birds and Chuck will be sending us the list. The weather held off for us (not so the goat derby) and we had some first timers to the part there, former scouts and making connections. No donations. It was good to see some families with kids there. - Joanie Gottschling
