John,
As we contemplate the last 50 years and prepare for the coming year, two undeniable truths emerge. First, we are incredibly grateful for your support in
safeguarding numerous parks, playgrounds, and green spaces.
Secondly, it's evident there's still a lot of important work ahead of
us. We can't wait to get started on our next 50 years!

Thousands of people visit Hawai?i's Halulu Fishpond every year,
where one can connect with ??ina (land), culture, and
community. Together with our partners, we've preserved a

Coffee + Conversation = Great Parks

"When you go to someone's house, what do they do?"
asks Gloria Galindo. "They offer you something to drink."
Such was the origin of coffee-fueled conversations about the future of
parks in and around Greeley, Colorado-along with tasty snacks,
of course.
