MacArthur Park Group Meeting results

Pete, Adam & I went to the War Memorial Museum for the MacArthur Park Group meeting & made some contacts. The group seemed very willing to help us & Keith from The Clinton Foundation/Americorps is coming @ 6:30 pm for Monday Polo with an associate to get a feel for what needs to be done to get our courts fixed up. I think we should be able to get donations/scrap materials to get both courts boarded up & Keith says he has plenty of people who can help in construction.
Anyone who wants to go to these meetings is welcome..maybe we should keep it to 3 or 4 representatives at a time tho. We're possibly going to get some sort of posterboard presentation worked up for next time to give them a better idea of what it is that we are doing. This is pretty awesome...get thinking about where we can get donations/recycled materials/scrap for the courts OK?
