Initial Survey - Friends of R.B. Winter

Welcome!

Thank you for your interest in forming the Friends of R.B. Winter State Park. Your commitment is contagious — what a great initial meeting! As promised, in order to make our next meeting even more productive, we will begin the planning process using on-line technology to move things along so we can start rolling up our sleeves and working on projects.

Please take a few minutes to answer the following questions. Please respond before April 22 so that I can compile the answers before our next meeting.

This will not be an anonymous survey, as we need to know who you are in order to move forward, but your answers will be synthesized before sharing so there is that level of privacy.

Please note: The next meeting is scheduled to take place on April 29 at 6:00 PM once again through ZOOM. Register as before at https://ppff.events/second-rb-winter-meeting. Please feel free to send the link to anyone you think may be interested in attending.
