MITCHELL– The Friends of Spring Mill State Park are hosting their annual meeting at the Lakeview Nature Center on Tuesday March 19th at 6 pm. Members and non-members are welcome.
Friends President Teena Ligman said the group looks forward to the annual meeting of the full membership to celebrate the group’s accomplishments over the past year and discuss the plans for the upcoming year. Ligman said this year, the Friends have more to report than ever before. “We are really a good team,” Ligman said. “Several of our members have taken different areas and really made a difference,” Ligman explained that members had stepped up to move the distillery closer to becoming a reality, brought the Civilian Conservation Corps 90th Anniversary event to Spring Mill, and developed a new cookbook focusing on what is special about Spring Mill.
“We have a lot of exciting things to share, and hope people will come to learn what we’ve done in the last year and what we’re working on,” Ligman said. She noted they could use some help on current projects and ideas for future projects, so more community involvement with the Friends group is welcome. “Who wouldn’t want to help Spring Mill?” Ligman asked. “It’s an amazing place and offers so much for all of us – it’s just nice to be able to give back, and we have fun to boot!”
Mark Young, Park Manager, will also provide Park Updates, including renovations to the Inn, Mill, and Nature Center. The Park is undergoing many changes, and Mark will be available to explain what the next year might include for Park visitors.
There will be refreshments and door prizes for those who attend the Friends meeting.
