The Friends is having a member event in San Antonio on June 20, 2009 at La Fonda on Main. If you are a member of the Friends, or have a Big Bend license plate, you are invited to attend.

Superintendent Wellman and Chief of Interpretation Elkowitz will be giving an update on the park, repairs being conducted due to last fall's flooding and projects that the park is working on. It's a great chance to get an in-depth look at park operations from top park staffers.

If you are not a member, but wish to attend the event you can join by paying membership dues at the door or logging onto our website at:
www.bigbendfriends.org

Looking forward to having everyone attend!
