Winter 2008 - 2009
From the President

What a good year this has been for the Friends, the park and Honey Creek. Our park interpreter, Craig Hensley, has continued to provide many informative and interesting pro-grams. He has also been an integral part of our Friends group and has offered special learning opportunities for our members. The Friends have supported Craig with new interpretive tools and volunteers.

A few great people have joined the core of active members in the Friends group and we are all enjoying and benefiting from their involvement. Several of them have become certified Honey Creek guides and are leading hikes on a regu-lar basis. We just finished a banner Halloween at the park event; thank you everyone who helped! We are working on native landscaping plans for the Rust house and the interpre-tive center and have a great donation to help us continue that activity.

There are exciting plans to enhance the interpretive center and the Friends will be involved in both fund raising and implementation of those plans. The trails on the park property on the north side the river have been cut and we have all been waiting for rain so that we can burn the brush and start helping with that area also.

We have had several general meetings for Friends members and plan more for next year. Our park and Honey Creek are truly year round, so come out this winter and enjoy the park. If I haven’t mentioned something that grabbed you and made you want to come join us and be more active. please call and tell us your ideas for supporting the park. There is still a need and room for many more of you to support the Friends with your time and energy as well as your membership fees and donations. It is a privilege and a joy to work with the interesting and dedicated people in the Friends group. We are looking forward to another exciting year in 2009.
