Mke County Neighborhoods Step Up: Can the Efforts of Citizens Save our Parks?

Barry S. Waddell, Park People Executive Director and CPM, and Adam Carr, Director of strategic partnerships Milwaukee Parks Foundation.

Public involvement is necessary to improve our parks. The Milwaukee Park Foundation has recently been established to raise funds and advocate for our parks. The Park People is the umbrella group for “friends of parks” groups across the county. Friends groups have taken up some of the slack for underfunded parks and raise funds for needed activities. They sometimes perform maintenance and sponsor programs in our parks.  Host: Cheri Briscoe

For over 50 years, the Sunday Forum lecture series has showcased provocative, sometimes controversial, speakers discussing topical issues of the day: politics, the environment, health issues, the arts, education, and more. The Sunday Forum is held at 10:00 a.m. September through May. Speakers give a 45-minute presentation, followed by questions and brief comments from the audience. The content of Forum lectures does not necessarily express the viewpoint of First Unitarian Society of Milwaukee, but are meant to offer thoughtful topics which our members often pursue further on their own.
