Dear Friends:
The devasting flood waters on May 1st and 2nd left our precious park buried under unimaginable depths of water. While the focus of the community is and should be the people and personal properties affected by this horrific event, in the coming months we will begin to organize efforts to restore our park to suitable conditions.
We have shared many photos of the flooding of the park on our Facebook Group Page. Please feel free to share your photos and comments about the flooding in our park and stay tuned for updates on how you can assist in the restoration efforts.
The following message was sent earlier to Metro Parks by our President, Carol Williams:
“When the water recedes in Shelby Park and Bottoms, please guide FOS as to what you need from us. Many people already want to help. We are so sad to see our beloved park flooded but are hopeful that you will keep your eye out for available Federal Funds to assist in recovery.
We are ready and willing to organize as soon as we hear from you.
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered to assist in this effort.”
