To the Editor:
On behalf of the entire board and staff of the Friends of Princeton Open Space (FOPOS), I would like to thank everyone who helped to make our September 28th Fall Fest celebration such a success. The Fall Fest is our biggest annual fundraiser and helps to support our ongoing preservation efforts and environmental education programming. The Fall Fest is also an occasion to acknowledge the many volunteers, and the growing number of high school and college-age interns, who help to bring our mission to life.
Being able to celebrate with the community at Mountain Lakes House makes us doubly proud and happy to have been able to help preserve the house and six acres in 1988, and the rest of the Billy Johnson Mountain Lakes Mountain Lakes Nature Preserve (70 acres) in 1986. Many of those who worked with Mrs. Betty Wold Johnson, the Nature Conservancy, and the Township to achieve this are gone, but their spirits live on in this incredible community asset.
There are too many individual contributors to name here, but we would like to use this space to thank the corporate and business sponsors of this year’s event: Genmab, Hamilton Mercer Advisors, Whole Earth Center, Corcoran Sawyer Smith, Queenston Realty, Callaway Henderson Sotheby’s International Realty, and ZS Associates.
