President’s Message

By Brian Morrissey

Another year of trials and joys has almost gone.  The destruction of Rachel Carson Meadow and many of its trees has saddened and disgusted us all.  From the playground and the kitchen windows of our neighbor’s homes abutting the park, University Boulevard can be seen in all its glory for the first time in decades.  But thanks to the efforts of some of our members, we did manage to save the Rec Center from demolition.

The bus rapid transit (BRT) system which is being planned by the county to go hurtling though Four Corners is another threat for us to deal with and unite against in 2014.

See you all at our next member meeting on Thursday, 19 December 2013, at Forest Knolls Elementary School.   ■
