FOCCP Looking Forward to Another Banner Year

“Friends of Christopher Columbus Park (FOCCP) is grateful for our wonderful community and we have wonderful events planned throughout 2024,” according to FOCCP President Joanne Haynes Rines, who said, “Be sure to mark your calendars so you don’t miss a single event.”

Events and activities include: The Tunnel of Love, “Will You Marry Me” Valentine conversations for those who are thinking of popping the question.

The event kicks off February 1 with festive lights, romantic music and an amazing large conversation heart that makes for the perfect photo-op.

Tia’s will be the site of FOCCP’s annual membership social on Wednesday, May 22. “The membership social is a fun night for members, sponsors and volunteers as well as anyone interested in learning more about us,” Rines said.

The very popular fun filled Independence Day Celebration, that attracts hundreds of community residents, will be held on Saturday, June 29. According to Rines, “The event is filled with magic, crafts, a parade, special visitors and more.”

She said, “There is no better way to kick off fall than by stopping by FOCCP’s Fall Families Festivals,” and enjoy fall arts and crafts, pumpkins and other fun and activities.”

FOCCP invites everyone interested to join them for their quarterly meetings.

“They are a great opportunity to learn about upcoming events, find out how to get involved and meet with friends, old and new,” Rines added.

The 2024 meetings will be held on Tuesdays, February 13, May 14, August 13 and November 12 at the Mariners House, 11 North Square, 2nd floor. Elevator access available.
