[Green] Fwd: Introducing Save Ohio Parks

[George Banziger]

Thanks, Dawn. I was at  a (Zoom) meeting of this group Friday. The Salt
Fork State Park event is July 1--same day as the memorial for Dave
Ballantyne. FUUSM people can go there around noon, stay a short time, and
come back for the service. The biggest challenge in opposing this plan is
that  citizens are unaware of the issue. The Save Our Park group needs
people to hand out flyers and talk to people at the park.
