The year 2017 has been one of exciting new achievements for the Friends of Balboa Park and heart wrenching loss, with the Hpassing of our beloved previous Board Chair, Tom Scott. A year ago, who knew that we would become the proud new owners of the historic and Preserving iconic Balboa Park Carousel? Of course, we had no doubt that, under the Balboa Park’s legacy for stewardship of Board member Jim Hughes, the gate houses at the west end future generations through of the Cabrillo Bridge would be restored to their original 1915 splendor. And park-wide projects while we continued our plans for the Moreton Bay Fig tree platform, the gateway monuments, and so many other projects, we also enjoyed community outreach through many events, particularly our Annual Awards Luncheon and the hugely successful National Carousel Day Celebration on July 25. winter 2018 The year 2018 marks the 150th year since the founding of Balboa Park. It should come as no surprise that we plan to mark this occasion with the dedication of our latest project, the Moreton Bay Fig tree Board of Directors platform. Stay tuned for details of the announcement. We also intend to mark the sesquicentennial George D. Hardy, Chair celebration with an even more exciting National Carousel Day party on July 25. Come early if you want David Marshall, Vice Chair Ken Tranbarger, Treasurer to avoid the lines for the free rides at the Carousel that day! We are hopeful that the year’s end will see Michelle Slingerland, Secretary the completion of several of our other projects, if we can successfully complete the planning process, Betty Peabody, Founder and successfully raise the necessary funds… Did you respond to our Annual Appeal?
