Friends of Bay City State Park

We're having our Board meeting tomorrow (Monday), 5:30PM, at the Visitor Center auditorium. The public is invited; it's a great chance to meet us & find out more about our group. The meeting shouldn't be too long, probably not more than an hour, maybe less, so we hope to see you!

This project will include many new exciting interactive displays, designed to amaze and educate you and your children about our great outdoors, right here in the Bay Area. mlive.com/news/saginaw-bay-c…
