Last weeks C'dale Times had a front page article on the report from the Hickory Lodge Task force regarding what to be done with the Hickory Lodge property and it's a pretty good list: renovate Hickory Lodge, 170 seat theater and center for performing arts, botanical garden, walking paths, outdoor facilities for weddings and other events, and an environmental learning center. The general feeling of the board, I gather, is "Yes, these are great ideas, yes, we'd like to do them, no, we don't have the money."

However if the proposed Friends of Hickory Lodge fundraising organization gets established, as per the proposal, the monetary problems facing the board would certainly drop.
