Volunteer Park Conservatory: Saved!

Well, the universe has aligned itself because a day before I even wrote my "save the conservatory post" the mid-year budget was announced. I just got this email from the Parks Department in response to one of my e-mails and thought I should share it with all of you.

Dear Ms. Archer,

Thank you for your letter of support for the Volunteer Park Conservatory. We are delighted that the Mayor's midyear budget, announced June 14, included no cuts to the Conservatory. Attached (as a PDF titled "Midyear budget") is the press release that went out about midyear budget cuts to Seattle Parks and Recreation and to other City agencies.

Again, thanks for your support.

Sincerely,
Laurie Dunlap
Superintendent's Office, Seattle Parks and Recreation

If anyone would like to see that pdf, let me know and I'll happily forward it along.

Hooray!
