The Peace Garden is located on land that is at the edge of the Minnesota State Fairgrounds and is included in the Fair's Adopt a Garden Program. Commercial liability insurance is required for our continued use of the land for that purpose. In 2024 the Friends of the Philando Castile Peace Garden raised funds for installing additional amenities to improve safety and visitors' experience. These included in- ground lighting along the pathways, a water source, extended seating, edging around the metal symbols, a historic marker, and increased plantings. Many individuals used the garden as a contemplative space. Organized activities that were open to the public include a Candlelight Vigil in July and garden tours throughout the year. The Garden provides an opportunity for the many people who have been impacted by a tragic death to be able to support remembrance and healing through volunteering to help create and maintain the garden. This year the Board of Directors completed a Visioning Process to generate plans and identify resources consistent with the internal goals of keeping the Garden as a peaceful contemplative place, being sustainable, and continuing to be community-driven. 56866 11678 11678 Susan Gehrz Board Chair 5 0 0 0 Valerie Castile Board Vice Chair 5 0 0 0 Damon Anderson Board Member 1 0 0 0 Sharon Castle Board Treasurer 2 0 0 0 Chuck Laszewski Board Secretary 1 0 0 0 Tia Williams Board Member 1 0 0 0 Jerry Hammer Board Member 1 0 0 0 Robert Goodall Board Member 1 0 0 0 Laura Berquist Board Member 1 0 0 0 Dr Georgina May Board Member 1 0 0 0 Dr Juanita Hoskins Board Member 1 0 0 0 Nathan Johnson Board Member 1 0 0 0 Steve Boyd-Smith Board Member 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 MN Susan Gehrz 1480 Applewood Ct Unit 401 Roseville MN 55113 6513237121 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 22785 111336 134121 240 240 0 0 0 23025 111336 134361 134361 45 240 285 0 0 0 45 240 285 0 0 0 23070 111576 134646 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Depreciation;1551|Insurance;2348|Supplies and Materials and Subscriptions;5016|Bank and Filing Fees;145|Meeting Expense;105^Total;9165^
