SATURDAY APRIL 9th was our 1st fundraising event and to date we have raised almost $4,000.00 of the $20,000.00                               that is our current goal!    





Land Use Attorney Stephen Jones has consulted with us pro bono to this point and is ready to proceed as we have a strong case for 'Implied Dedication to Public Use.'  (Thank you to those who have come forward with information regarding use of the Hastain Trail from the mid 1960's to 1972.)  Stephen Jones will continue to work for us at half his normal rate and comes highly recommended.

Mr. Jones's current information is as follows;
