FYI - MAY 19, 2018: Kids to Parks Day
We are just 2 weeks away from Kids to Parks Day! Since the last email, a Senate resolution
passed (with unanimous consent) designating May 19 as National Kids to Parks Day, with
proclamations from 385 cities from all 50 states, and 511 events registered! And with your help
sharing the good news, those numbers will increase significantly as we approach the 19th.
There is still time to add an event. A big thanks to the six Corps sites that are already
participating. Remember if you have a Jr. Ranger Program, you can promote that via this
event. If you are thinking about hosting an event, visit: http://www.parktrust.org/
events/community/add to share that information.
Here are some sample social
media posts you can use:
