Woodmont Park Update
Friends of Woodmont Park happily announces that we have recently received our official 501(c)(3) public charity designation from the IRS. This means that all your contributions are now tax-deductible and that we have more paperwork to do. We also are eligible for a much wider range of grants and park support with this designation.
We are also pleased to announce that as of April 2, 2013, we were designated the official volunteer support group to Metro Parks for Woodmont Park. This will ensure that we work seamlessly with the Parks Department in enhancing Woodmont Park. We look forward to building on our three-year history of fruitful collaboration with our friends at the Parks Department!
Thank you!
A gigantic thank you to Susan Keffer, Managing Partner of McKerley Noonan Certified Public Accountants, for slogging through the long IRS non profit application for us, and to James Bristol for writing big parts of the required information.
And a big thanks to Tommy Lynch, Director and Tim Netsch, Assistant Director for Planning for Metro Parks (and long-time helper), for getting us over this last goal line so we can implement our long-term vision for Woodmont Park!
Plans for 2013
We are halfway to our total needed to install a Bakko-type tennis backboard. Thanks to all of you who have donated thus far. If you would like to contribute, please mail your checks to: Friends of Woodmont Park, c/o Diane Gober, Treasurer, 200 Ensworth Ave, Nashville, TN 37205.
If you are interested in helping us plan events or other projects for the park this year, please come to our next planning meeting. Contact Trish Mixon at hmptn...@bellsouth.net and get involved at our next Friends meeting! How about a new pergola, for example? Tell us what you’d like to see happen at your park!
