March 2025: River Park Roundup

March 2025 - River Park Roundup

Announcing New Board Member: Lynn Lee - Program Director at Presentation High School

"As someone who has cherished moments at Guadalupe River Park— enjoying Pumpkins-in-the-Park, watching my son explore the Rotary Playground, and volunteering with park maintenance —I am thrilled to give back to a place that means so much to me. I look forward to supporting the finance committee and ensuring it remains a vibrant, welcoming space for future generations to enjoy."

Announcing New Board Member: Jennifer Ford - VP of Finance and Operations, Raising a Reader

"I am excited to be engaging with my community in this new way and learning more about and exploring the beautiful naturescapes nearby my home. I look forward to contributing my time and talent to this vital organization that is looking to optimize our city's greenspaces for social activity and interaction. GRPC's work is a beautiful combination of land preservation, while also attempting to address the loneliness epidemic."
