HOW ABOUT BECOMING A MEMBER OF FRIENDS OF SAM SMITH PARK?

FOSS has just participated in a very successful Seventh Annual Bird Festival at Col. Sam - what a crowd we had!  The FOSS activities were very well received by kids and adults alike.  We are now renewing our memberships for the year (memberships will go from May 1, 2016- April 29, 2017).  Our membership fee is very modest- $5 per person, or $10 per family.  Memberships support Bird Festival supplies, volunteer recognition, and office supplies, among other things.  We would be happy if you would consider renewing your membership with us or joining as a new member.  Our membership application can be found on the right hand side of the website homepage  -  scroll down to "FOSS Membership Form".

We hope to hear from you!  Thanks!
