The Fire, The Clean Up, The Transition and Beyond .....

The news media reported that a fire at Glen Echo Park on Friday May 12, 2006 damaged some supplies in a utility storage building. However, the damage to the dance and other groups at the park is more serious than this report would suggest. The damage was to the building, workshop, supplies, tools used to restore the Bumper Car Pavilion and to provide a focal point for numerous current on-going volunteer based projects within the park. Documents and history for many years of dance and volunteer programs were damaged. Volunteers are needed to help with an immediate clean up effort to save potentially thousands of dollars of tools and equipment from the effects of water damage and to mount a longer term effort to rebuild the damaged workshop.
To help, contact Stan at the park or email stan_fowler@nps.gov.
