Sharp Park Parking Lot Showdown?! Enviros Plan To Protest SF Public Golf Fundraiser!
/No one ever said Brent Plater and the Wild Equity folks fighting (unsuccessfully) to get Alister MacKenzie's Sharp Park shuttered, do so with class, dignity or honesty. Now Plater and friends plan to clog the parking lot this Saturday when the San Francisco Public Golf Alliance holds a fundraiser for the legal cause that so far has managed to hold off the efforts of Plater.
Another group, Save The Frogs, is also part of the protest of the fundraiser and promises to be "drumming" for the frogs. I guess these folks don't know that most wildlife do not appreciate the sound of drumming, if in fact that is the ploy. Oh there I go again thinking it's about the wildlife!
May 19th, 2012. We will be drumming and educating people about frogs from 11am-1pm and again from 4:30pm to 6:30pm. These times coincide with the golfing tee-off and post-tournament festivities. We encourage everybody to attend both sessions (have lunch or take a hike in between). We strongly encourage everyone to attend the 4:30pm-6:30pm session, as that is when the golf-loving politicians and keynote speakers will be passing through the parking lot, and our presence will have the strongest impact.
There will be speeches from SAVE THE FROGS! Founder Dr. Kerry Kriger as well as SAVE THE FROGS! Advisory Committee Chairman Michael Starkey and Wild Equity Institute Executive Director Brent Plater. There will be drumming for the frogs throughout the day.
