However, community members pointed out that cleaning clearly doesn’t work, and that a more fundamental problem needs to be resolved. Another attendee pointed out that it made no sense to build a road bed for track if it is going to be attacked by water from flooding or some failure below the surface. (continued) General Membership Meeting October 17 The Friends of Clark Park will be holding a General Membership Meeting on Oc- tober 17th, at 7 p.m., at USP’s Griffith Hall. This is an extremely important meeting for many reasons. It’s our Election meet- ing, so you can vote for the people who’ll be guiding the FoCP for the next two years… or, if you’d like, you can step right up and run for a board position or office yourself. Historically, our October meetings have been well attended, as they are a good time to evaluate the park right after the summer season. This has been one of our busiest seasons. We’ve had the Uhuru Flea Markets for six months. We’ve had Shake- speare in the Bowl. There’s the Park A renovation, the basketball court renovation, SEPTA’s plans for Chester Ave., and our evaluations of the park’s major events and maintenance issues. So you can see why this particular meeting is so important. We need to give you a comprehensive State of the Park report, and we want more of our neighbors to come out and get involved in our park’s future. Of course it goes without saying that if pose these there is undermining, eventually there aspects of the will be a collapse. However the guar- project.
