Yet throughout its history, the park continues to attract those who view it as free land available for their favorite projects. In addition, with the current short-term budget crises, some view the park as a source of revenue rather than a precious civic asset to be protected. ** *JOIN OUR PANEL TO LEARN ABOUT CURRENT CONSTRUCTION PLANS FOR GOLDEN GATE PARK* ** Jim Chappell, Interim Director-San Francisco Beautiful, Past Executive Director–SPUR; Moderator Mark Buell, President, SF Recreation and Park Commission Anthea Hartig Ph.D., President - Western Office National Trust for Historic Preservation Katherine Howard ASLA, Golden Gate Park Preservation Alliance, SF Ocean Edge Mike Lynes, Conservation Director/General Counsel - Environmental Matters, Golden Gate Audubon Society George Wooding, President, West of Twin Peaks Central Council, Columnist, /Westside Observer/ ** *Wednesday, May 11, 2011* 6:00 - 6:30 pm Networking Reception 6:30 - 7:30 pm Program Commonwealth Club, 595 Market Street, SF - Montgomery Metro Station Tickets: $20 standard, $8 members, $7 students (with valid ID) *Pre-Registration is Advised* Call 415-597-6705 or register online at www.commonwealthclub.org <http://www.commonwealthclub.org> - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - To unsubscribe from the SFBAY-SFGROUP-EXCOM list, send any message to: SFBAY-SFGROUP-EXCOM-signoff-request@LISTS.SIERRACLUB.ORG Check out our Listserv Lists support site for more information: http://www.sierraclub.org/lists/faq.asp
