President’s Report
Volunteers and staff have been busy preparing the gardens in readiness for the 2019 Kings Park Festival. One of the new attractions this year is the Floral Regalia by Lotterywest, featuring hundreds of colourful hoops with woven/crotched art by staff and volunteers. It will be spectacular.
Another exciting event is the official opening on Friday, 30 August of Wanju Marr, the new volunteer hub. We are very grateful to Lotterywest for supporting the Friends with a grant of $2.4M for this project. Volunteers from the different groups within the Park can meet, relax and enjoy each other’s company and the company of the staff. The WA Government, through Lotterywest, supports community projects like this one, helping to build a better WA together.
I need to advise I will be stepping down from my role as President at the AGM in October.
