[Green] Fwd: Introducing Save Ohio Parks

[anne sparks]

Hi Dawn, I see that people are responding to the Save Ohio Parks
information you sent out, but you might not have received this info about
the expert panel presenting to the commission this Wed. It's short notice,
but if anyone can attend in person or virtually that would be great.
Thanks,
Anne
