HELLO from FOGP

Greetings and best wishes from the Friends of Goodwin Park.  We have been absent from social media for several months but aim for better communications in 2017.  Members of FOGP take a break during the winter month, but regular meetings will resume in the spring.  In the mean time, the board is reviewing accomplishments for 2016 (we will publish them soon) and looking ahead to 2017.  And don't forget - Goodwin Park is a great place to walk -even in the winter!

Mark your calendars!
Join us on Monday, May 16, 7-8pm
for dessert, beverages and door prizes.
Meet at the Birdie Café, the new restaurant
at the golf course in Goodwin Park.

APRIL MEETING RE-SCHEDULED


Our April meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 19 at 7PM at the pond house.  All are welcome!

ANOTHER REASON TO VISIT GOODWIN PARK


THE BIRDIE CAFE, located in the renovated clubhouse at the golf course will open at 7AM
 on April 1.  The Cafe provides a new venue in the neighborhood for breakfast, lunch and desserts with a view over the golf course, the pond and the hills to the east.  Check out the Cafe's facebook page for more details. 

Trails Through the Woods Now Open

If you are one of the folks who enjoys walking the trails in Goodwin Park you will be happy to know that both trails have been cleared of downed limbs and leaves and are ready for you to enjoy.  Thank you to Friends of Goodwin Park volunteer Jon Ney for his work to make this happen,

You can access the Hubbard Road Trail from the closed section of the roadway north of the pond house. Look for the sign on the east side of the roadway. 

You can access the Jordan Lane Trail from
the south side of the roadway just past the Jordan Lane entrance gate.

SAVE THE DATES

Join us on Friday, March 18 from 11:00-1:00 for the season's first clean up of Goodwin Park.  Wear gloves and bring a litter pick if you have one.  Use the Maple Avenue entrance and park in the area near the playground.  We will meet there, divide into teams of two, and focus our efforts on the wooded areas adjacent to the roadway.  Refreshments will follow at the pond house.

We resume our regular monthly meetings on Monday, March 21 from 7:00-8:30 at the pond house.  All are welcome - please join us to learn what is in store for the coming season. 

Please send an email to mmcatee04@aol.com if you plan to help with clean up or if you have questions.  Thank you.
