FRTP-Saturday in the Park with Friends
Spend a �Saturday in the Park with Friends� on May 18 as Friends of Rye Town Park hosts a fundraiser to usher in Spring�s arrival.
Enjoy a casual evening under the pavilions in Rye Town Park from 6-9 p.m., complete with a fun menu (including a raw bar, sliders, chicken, veggies, hot dogs with the works, beer, wine, and more), music, a silent auction and a special Spring raffle.
Proceeds from the evening will primarily help to fund long-range plans for the care of the park�s trees. Over the past year especially, the park has suffered tree damage or loss from severe weather but natural aging and other environmental factors have taken a toll on them as well over time. As part of its mission to restore and preserve the beauty of the park, Friends would like to set the groundwork for a formal blueprint to help protect these natural assets that make Rye Town Park special.
Tickets for the event are $85.00 per person. The deadline for purchase is May 13.
Go to www.friendsofrtp.org to purchase tickets on-line or mail your check to Friends of Rye Town Park, P.O. Box 345, Rye, NY 10580. Donations can be made the same way.
Questions? Call Ann Moller at 967-5418.
