[Greenway-board] Re: NCMA trail event this Sat.

[Bill Flournoy]

A month or so ago I sent out a notice about the celebration, and query 
about whether someone with TGC might be interested in checking on 
opportunities to display/share info. After receiving no indication of 
availability/interest, I called my contact with the MoA to confirm that 
the TGC's past involvement [we supplied the tools and supervisors for 
the initial Art Park trail construction] would be recognized. Obviously 
it will be. I will be there for a short while, but not long enough to do 
info duty.
