Friend's of Benson Park invitation!

Message from the Friends of Benson Park

Today Benson Park along other parks in the city were unlocked with the city's move into the yellow phase of re-opening. That being said, The FOBP want to waste no time in getting our neighbors, park go-ers, community members, etc together for a meeting next Thursday, June 11th in the park at 7PM.

First thing on the agenda that we are looking to discuss are the officer roles for this year's park season. We are looking to fill the following roles:

• President/Park Chair - point of contact with Philadelphia Parks and Recreation/Fairmount Park Conservancy, events etc and the FOBP/community

• Secretary - take meeting notes and send to community members, council woman's office and PPR

• Treasurer - manage funds of the park acquired through grants, donations and fees made from concession etc. Communicate funds totals monthly with SKCP

Please come to the meeting planning to vote, volunteer or give input on this process next week! Would love to give some of our current members a break or opportunity to try a new role so please consider taking a bigger role in this group if you can!

**Looking forward to seeing everyone and as a reminder and requirement from PPR social distance practices will be followed.
