FCNA Picnic and Parade
July 4, 2009 |
|
Again the parade was led by a City of Vancouver fire engine ( one of the few city departments to make house calls) from Fishers Landing school to Fishers Creek Park. The diverse parade ranged from little toddlers to bike riding adults, wagon riders, and parental walk alongs. An estimated 300 plus participated in the parade. A glorious sight to behold. Thanks Jennifer Maddox and Kris Miller for coordinating the parade!
Picnic - A traditional fare of hot dogs, chips, cookies and a drink were provided - the cost was FREE to participants! Our Dump Day donations and the donation assistance from QFC covered the cost. Recall YOUR Neighborhood Association FCNA has NO dues and relies on volunteers and donations to host this type of event. For the 2nd year Bounce house activities were provided under the direction of Steven Haygood. Thanks Steven!! An estimated 425 participants attended the picnic! So many volunteers helped make the picnic run smoothly- thanks Volunteers!

Planting at the Park
January 14, 2006 |
|
Volunteers from as far away as
Seattle planted over 200 native plants in Fisher’s
Creek Park on Saturday January 14. Cool
temperatures, grey skies, and, at least initially, a
light drizzle did not prevent an estimated thirty
adults and children from participating in the work.
The event was made possible by a grant from the City
of Vancouver. Success was made possible by the
enthusiastic participation of the volunteers. Ryan
Durocher, Urban Forestry Outreach Coordinator for
Vancouver-Clark Parks and Recreation made the
arrangements for purchase and delivery of the plants
and mulch. Pastries were
provided by FCNA. And coffee, both regular and
unleaded, was provided by our local Starbucks After
a brief orientation on the benefits of trees the
volunteers joined crew leaders to plant natives in
predetermined positions. Colored flags were used to
mark the locations for each of the dozen or so
species that were planted. Plants were chosen to fit
in with those already growing in the park.
