Friends of McMillan Park: McMillan Park town hall meeting -- Saturday, 09-14-2013



Friends of McMillan Park cordially invites all supporters, neighbors, District residents, and citizens of planet Earth curious or concerned about the past and future of historic McMillan Park to attend a Town Hall Meeting this Saturday, September 14th, from 3-5 pm, in Saint Martin's Pioneer Room, 1908 North Capitol St. NW (North Capitol and T NW, enter on T St.)  Speakers will address McMillan Park's rich history and explain both the Gray Administration's proposal for the site and creative alternatives. 
 
The event will also include a focused discussion of community concerns and provide a list of ways that you can help. Our generous local sponsors are providing pizza, pasta, beer, and soft drinks for your enjoyment. We will also have some fun McMillan Park t-shirts, bumper stickers, and buttons for sale to support the cause.
 
See you there! 
 
Please note that the next public tour of McMillan Park, originally planned for this Saturday,
has been postponed until later this fall. We are continuing our close collaboration with the 
Army Corps of Engineers to host the upcoming tour of the Reservoir side of the Park, 
including some of its well-maintained underground filtration cells. We will keep everyone 
posted about this rare opportunity to experience one of our city's finest hidden treasures.
Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns, or direct inquiries to Kirby Vining at 202.234.0427, friendsofmcmillanpark@gmail.com, or @McMillanPark.

Thank you,

Hugh Youngblood
