It exists to promote community and celebrate the beauties of the park itself. Ticket costs do not cover costs, and we rely on contributions, corporate and personal, to get the event at or above break-even. These sponsors receive no tangible benefit. Form 990, Part III, Line 2 The Friends has begun organizing and preparing for potential restoration of the park's land to its original 18th-century size. We are meeting with elected and administrative officials of the city, we have commissioned a survey of infrastructure surrounding the park, we have a written and drawn plan, and we are preparing to raise the money necessary. If successful, we will have added back the 26% of parkland removed about a hundred years ago, including much green space and one new large tree to join the nine other trees that shade the park. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b Before submission, a draft is circulated to the whole board with invitation to comment, question, or opine. The treasurer answers questions and submits other concerns to the board itself. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c The board secretary circulates the policy annually and board members have to return a signed copy to her; those who don't are reminded until all are in hand. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, Line 19 Governing documents and the conflict of interest policy are readily available for board members via Dropbox. The financials are auto-mailed to board members on the first of each month. These three are not, however, available to the general public. The 990 is available upon request to any person with a reasonable query and is also widely available on Guidestar.
