THANK YOU!!!

On May 1st, we had over 40 volunteers come out to the Big Dry Creek Trail clean-up project and collect more than two truck loads of trash.  Garbage including old clothing, tires, shopping carts, bottles, cans and paper were collected throughout the corridor and creek areas.  Thanks to the efforts of community members, Foundation Trustees, partnering council members, and local girl scouts the trail was “sparkling clean”. 

We would like to specifically thank the South Suburban Parks and Recreation District for their committed efforts to this event.  Current and future stewardship programs will include ongoing trail and park clean-ups throughout south metro trails.  If you know of a group interested in hosting a trail clean-up day to support the ongoing needs of our projects, please call (303) 753-0905.


What a Success!
2009 October Fundraising Event

Thanks to everyone’s effort and support, our 2009 October Fundraising event was a success!  The Foundation raised over $3,000 in October/November and encouraged more than 30 new supporters to join our efforts.  Thank you for your valuable commitment to our projects.

winner!We would like to congratulate Eileen Dawe whose name was drawn from the October gift incentives.  Eileen received a complimentary 2010 John Fielder special edition “South Platte Twilight Reflections” photo; the third of a five series collection.  Needless to say, she was ecstatic to receive such a memorable gift.  For years she has admired Mr. Fielder’s work and is thrilled to own one.  But more importantly, Eileen was excited to share her stories and trips throughout the trail systems which she uses almost daily.  Some of her favorite trips include walking along the Big Dry Creek through Belleview and Progress Park west over the Platte River Bridge.  She also enjoys biking on the Big Dry over to the Mary Carter Greenway/Platte River Trail and looping back to her neighborhood.  Eileen also shared that when her family comes to town from the mountains, they cannot wait to get out and hit the urban, and convenient, trails.  We are extremely grateful for trail users like Eileen who are significantly benefiting from our efforts!

 

 

 

October Membership Celebration
Saturday, October 3rd

To celebrate current and new members, we set the date of October 3 to party on the trail, and party we did! Dozens of folks gathered at the Riverside Downs Pavilion on a beautiful fall afternoon to meet Foundation members and community trail users. In coordination with the event, small community rides and walks were led by Trustee members. These trail tours began in Sheridan, Cherry Hills Village and Centennial and provided a great opportunity to explore the Big Dry Creek and Mary Carter/Platte River Trail corridors. Thanks to our tour guides Dallas Hall, Klasina Vanderwerf, and Bart Miller, for sharing your enthusiasm for the south metro trail system!

Throughout the afternoon, guests of all ages enjoyed jazzy music provided by the Ellsworth Street band and refreshments provided by the Celtic Tavern and the Egg & I. Children were splashing in the fountain, neighbors were dropping by from the trail, and the new Foundation t-shirt was shared as a gift for all those whom stopped by. Littleton Cyclery offered information on caring for your bike as well as healthy fitness snacks. What a wonderful day!
