PARKS -- The Friends of Mt. Spokane State Park Board of Directors is looking for new members.

The panel of up to 15 members serves as a link between the park manager and park visitors, says Cris Currie, board president.

“It provides management recommendations to the park manager, organizes volunteer park projects and raises funds to help fulfill management plans for improved facilities and education within the park,” he said.

 The group meets 3-5 times a year and is looking for people who have a passion for the park and who can help represent recreational user groups as well as other interests including education, business and environmental protection, Currie says.

For an application, email a letter of interest to criscurrie22@gmail.com.
