Very sorry about the last State Park post! I read between the lines, and wrongly assumed it was open, so posted the headline incorrectly. Palomar Mountain State Park is NOT out of the woods yet! Keeping the park open has not been approved by the State yet. My mistake, but glad to get the call today from Michael Walsh and here is the CORRECT info from Michael and how you can help:
From: “Michael J. Walsh”
We do not have an agreement with the State of California yet ! There is no guarantee that we will keep the park open, until we reach and sign an agreement. The funds raised are an impressive show of support from the community, and that has helped us convince the Dept. of Parks and Recreation that we are serious, committed, and working hard to meet our objective of providing the funds necessary to keep the park open.
We hope to keep the Park open, but we can not state that until we have an agreement. Unfortunately there are still a number of scenarios that could derail our plans.
Our work has only begun for raising the funds Palomar needs and deserves. Please keep pledging and spreading the word. Here’s why:
THREE YEAR COMMITMENT – The agreement with the state will require funding for three years. Our first year pledge goal was based on an extremely lean, bare-bones budget… and for just one year. We’ll be making a three year commitment to keep Palomar open…a minimum of $180,000 for the full term.
Let’s keep working hard together and Save our State Park. Please click for the details: http://palomarsp.org/cc/02_13_2012.htm
Thank you,
Michael Walsh
