Fundraising Campaign

· Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to our Giving Tuesday fundraising campaign. We’ve surpassed our $1,000 goal!

Other Activities

· Mason Neck State Park (which we visited for a nature walk in October and a bike ride in November) is considering installing RightHear beacons to make its hiking trails more accessible. If you’ve used RightHear and would like to provide Mason Neck State Park any feedback, you can email Pam Cressey, the Vice President of Friends of Mason Neck State Park at: pjcressey.

Thanks and see you out there!
