Review for Friends of Grand Rapids Parks, Grand Rapids, MI, USA
I attended the kick off for Friends of Grand Rapids Parks and have been a donor. I've also served on a task force to start an "Adopt a Park" program which will further expand the role of this organization. I'm looking forward to some community spring cleanings!
