NEWS Special Thanks Board Mission Statement
Joe Ellis and Dennis Landen, VFW Post 7591 Commander, of the Madison Veterans Council received MPF’s Community Park Award for their magnificent Veterans Memorial Park.
MPF Ice Cream Social was sweet!
On Thursday evening, the Foundation hosted an Ice Cream Social gathering to welcome and introduce Kevin Briski, Madison’s new Parks Superintendent. The event, graciously sponsored by JH Findorff and Park Bank, was held at the Vilas Park Shelter House. Strawberry sundaes, donated by Madison’s iconic Michael’s Frozen Custard and Chicago-style hot dogs, courtesy of Mad Dogs, were served. Brief remarks were made by Mayor Dave Cieslewicz, Mr. Briski and Parks Foundation chair Susan Schmitz. A good time was had by all.

On March 1st more than 200 volunteers were feted at Olbrich Botanical Gardens to celebrate the many hours these caring citizens devote to keeping our neighborhood parks clean, planted and well tended. During the ceremonies, Foundation president Dorothy Borchardt presented the first annual Madison Parks Foundation awards to two deserving park improvement projects. 
The MPF Neighborhood Park Award was presented to (left to right) Randy Glysch, Bill Kunzelman, Marty Micke (holding plaque), Mary Ann Fahl, and Chuck Crowley for the Carpenter Ridgeway maze project.
