A great morning making a pond prettier for us and safer for wildlife. Met fun new folks, too!

The bond panel was marvelous - John was a great moderator. The speakers at the sessions I attended were knowledgeable and fun. The best part was meeting new people and sharing our different interests, concerns, hopes and aspirations!
Observations- I think starting with a broader overview of what APF's mission is, how they partner with the City et al, what the Adopt-a-Park is in general, would give us all a similar footing to start on. Plunging in with specific bond information was confusing, and I could see it was off-putting to some in the audience. It occurs to me that testimonials from a few actual Adopt-a-Park leaders telling us a personal story of their experiences would be very valuable and an inspirational way to start the day- with a positive, vivid vision of where we're heading!
