Join me in welcoming two new members to our leadership: Elizabeth Rosario and Ciara Williams.
Elizabeth will serve on our Board of Directors and Ciara will serve on our Board of Advisors. Elizabeth has participated in our Tacony Creek Park Block Parties for many years, sharing resources from the
Health Promotion Council
, where she serves as Outreach and Referral Coordinator.
We are so pleased that Ciara will represent the
Philadelphia Office of Sustainability
, a long time TTF supporter. Ciara contacted us to learn more about our BioBlitz this past September.
At our recent meeting, Board members enjoyed the crumpled paper watershed game, and as you can tell, it was a big hit! Interested in learning how you can be part of our work? Call me at 215-744-1853!
