We Have Reorganized!
The Friends of the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area reorganized its board of directors and launched a membership campaign in the winter and spring of 2005.
The not-for-profit organization is the only charitable organization authorized to accept public donations to the park and its programs.
During the summer of 2005, the board of directors and members will be formulating goals and projects for the coming years for the 70,000-acre recreation area spanning Sussex and Warren counties in New Jersey and Pike and Monroe counties in Pennsylvania.
Friends’ new officers and directors are: Gail Wershing of Dingmans Ferry, PA, president; Jim Clark, Peters’ Valley executive director, vice president; Bill Irwin, treasurer; Lois Martin, assistant treasurer/secretary; Judith Lloyd, secretary; Jim Buckley, Suzie Dickerson, Esther Irwin , Phillip Karcher and Tom Shimalla, director of operations for the Pocono Environmental Education Council.
Honored for their work as former directors are board members emeritus: Russell Albert of Marshall’s Creek; Harry Buchanan and Davis Chant, both of Milford; Leonard Peck of Sparta; Roberta Rodimer of Newton; and Jen Wycalek of Walpack.
The not-for-profit organization was formed in the late 1990s. The Friends are dedicated to supporting the historic, scientific, educational, recreational and natural resource management activities in the park and to raising funds for special park projects.
