A New Group For Allentown's WPA


My activism with the WPA began in 2009, when I started conducting meetings at the library. Later that year, with the help of few volunteers, we uncovered the Boat Landing in Lehigh Parkway. The next projects involved uncovering the stones lining the Spring Pond, and revealing the nearby miniature bridge. Cooperating with Karen El-Chaar, she secured funds from the Trexler Trust for the repair of the stairs in Fountain Park. I also conducted a couple tours of the Parkway with Karen. 

The original version of this group was kindly started for us by Steven Ramos. With the new Allentown Parknership deciding against my inclusion, I feel that it is time for friends of Allentown's WPA to organize. We will also advocate for the traditional park system, which also seems to be going by the wayside. Thank you for your interest. 

The above is an introduction to a new Facebook group dedicated to the WPA structures in the Allentown park system. 

Your membership in WPA of Allentown is most welcome.
