A gift for outgoing Fauntleroy Community Association president Bruce Butterfield last night, at FCA’s annual membership meeting/Food Fest – a cheery plaque (presented by Gordon Wiehler, left) for a yacht club with a name resembling Butterfield’s. With new officers elected, it was time for the changing of the guard – David Haggerty is the new president, following Butterfield’s 12 years in that role – the new president is third from left in our group photo of the FCA board:

Also big last night: Dates/times are confirmed for the upcoming FCA-hosted two-day celebration of Lincoln Park: Come to The Hall at Fauntleroy to learn about the park’s history, ecology, and wildlife, 6:30 pm Tuesday, April 23rd; then four days later, a guided tour of the forest and low-tide walk at 10:30 am Saturday, April 27th.

Fauntleroy’s abundance of nature was celebrated on this night, too – check out Judy Pickens‘ hat:

The clematis vine was a reminder of the Kilbourne Ravine restoration project, involving the Fauntleroy Watershed Council, with which Judy is active. Read about it in the FCA “Neighbors” newsletter.

Ahead – more scenes from the event, which featured FCA membership renewals as well as officer elections and local restaurants offering free tastes:
