2008 Annual Meeting

On Saturday, May 24, Friends of Steele Creek Nature Center and Park held its annual membership meeting at the Park.  The meeting was attended by about 20 enthusiastic members.

After welcoming the attendees, President Sue Marschalk presented a report of the organization's accomplishments and activities for the past year (available here.)

Election of new Board members followed.  The size of the Board for the coming year was set at 18 maximum.  The following individuals were then elected to serve three year terms beginning in July:

Sue King-Marschalk (reelected)
Chris Adams
Rack Cross
Michele Sparks
Glenn Vance

Terry Napier, Director of Bristol Tennessee Leisure Services then gave an update of all of the improvements and other activities going on at the Park. This past year has been a busy one for park improvements, and the coming year promises to be even busier.  The big news is the Nature Center expansion which appears to be on track for next year.  Assuming it comes to fruition, Friends will be busy helping to raise additional funds for exhibits, and working with Jeremy, Terry, and the other city staff to assure that it becomes the premier nature center in the region!
