Dear Friend of Radnor Lake,

We are writing with exciting and urgent news. The Friends of Radnor Lake=20
have signed a contract to purchase 6 undeveloped lots in the Radnor Glen=20
Subdivision. These lots are adjacent to the ridge of the South Cove Trail,=

=20
seeing someone=92s back deck or listening to the roar of leaf blowers or=20
mowers. The Friends group is dedicated to our mission of protecting and=20
preserving the integrity of Radnor Lake, and we are excited about the=20
purchase of this land.

Urgency lies in the time remaining to raise the balance of funds needed to=
=20
complete the purchase. We have 30 days to raise $150,000. Thanks to the=20
many supporters who have purchased Radnor Lake License Plates and made=20
donations to the Friends group, we already have $25,000 toward that goal.

Radnor Lake is important to each of us, to our community and the wildlife=20
that inhabit the area. It is our charge to protect Radnor for both the=20
present and the future, and we need your help now. Please consider donating=

Lake, stop by the Visitor Center and put your donation in the Radnor Glen=20
lockbox, or donate on-line at www.radnorlake.org.

We=92ll be marking our progress on a sign at the Visitor Center and look=20
