Picture This – Welcome 2026

January 2, 2026 by toad

Welcome 2026! Lots of Belle Isle friends celebrated on a bright, windy, cold (34F) January 1^st afternoon by hiking from the picnic area up the Porpoise Creek Trail trying to snap pictures before hands and cameras froze. Warm cider and cookies awaited all back at the shelter. A most enjoyable way to start the year of celebration of America’s 250th anniversary.

To join the celebration, come out to the park any day!

NEXT FRIENDS MEETING - Stay tuned for news about our first meeting in 2026, February 2 at 4 p.m. Our October meeting was enjoyed by Friends and park Staff - especially the fabulous pot-luck dinner. We are pleased to have a new Friend's President, Charles Blake. Charles is ready to go - full of energy, and I hope we can keep up with him. We are sad to lose the leadership of Frances Callaghan, but Frances will remain an active member and chair of the MBTR sponsorship committee. Re-elected officers are Jack Larson, VP: Karen Newton, Secretary: and Brian Bennett, Treasurer. A very special award was given to long-time member Bob Mason - see feature post. We would love to have you as a new member - come to a meeting and check us out. If you have questions please contact us at info@belleislestateparkfriends.org.
